Tears Of The Saints<\/span>
By Leeland [Album: Sound of Melodies]<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People\u2019s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures<\/p>\n

This is an emergency!<\/p>\n

There are tears from the saints<\/span>
For the lost and unsaved<\/span>
We\u2019re crying for them come back home<\/span>
We\u2019re crying for them come back home<\/span>
And all your children will stretch out their hands<\/span>
And pick up the crippled man<\/span>
Father, we will lead them home<\/span>
Father, we will lead them home<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In it\u2019s state of desperation
For Your glory<\/p>\n

This is an emergency!<\/p>\n

There are tears from the saints<\/span>
For the lost and unsaved<\/span>
We\u2019re crying for them come back home<\/span>
We\u2019re crying for them come back home<\/span>
And all your children will stretch out their hands<\/span>
And pick up the crippled man<\/span>
Father, we will lead them home<\/span>
Father, we will lead them home<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!
Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!<\/p>\n

There are tears from the saints<\/span>
For the lost and unsaved<\/span>
We\u2019re crying for them come back home<\/span>
We\u2019re crying for them come back home<\/span>
And all your children will stretch out their hands<\/span>
And pick up the crippled man<\/span>
Father, we will lead them home<\/span>
Father, we will lead them home<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Too often do I find myself focusing on my own self-hurts and my own life struggles that I forget that there is an emergency of hurt all around me. No, I can’t run out there and save everyone. No, I can’t go fix all the stumbling Christ followers that are so lost in a world of materialism that they have forgotten the beauty of being in love with Jesus. No, I can’t save anyone… that’s God’s job. But I have forgotten to be open to His guidance into the uncomfortable conversations and open arms of those searching for meaning. I have forgotten to pray for those in emptiness. How careless of me. How selfish. I have forgotten to deny myself. [Luke 9:23] I have chosen not to. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Lord for the reminder. <\/span>
I love You and You give all that I need. <\/span>
Thank You for forgiving me when I choose not to accept Your gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love You, Jesus. I love You because You showed me what love is. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
