Someone needs to start the clapping
It may as well be you
It may be repetitive
One sound after the next
But we need repetition
We need to see God
Praise God
Hear God
Speak to God
Over and over
Daily, moment by moment
The same cry
I need You!
Someone needs to start the preaching
It may as well be you
Preach with your words
And deeds
Shine the light
That reflects the Son
Preach to your neighbor
Preach to your own
Doubting heart
The same cry
We need You!
Someone needs to start the healing
So it may as well be you
Bringing the families
Back together
Mending relationships
Broken hearts
Fragile frames
Lame hands
Lifted high, crying out
We need You!
Someone needs to start the prophesying
It may as well be you
Wisdom and knowledge
Come from above
So look up and dig deep
Pray for workers
With insight
Who fully understand
The simple truth
We need You!
Someone needs to start the serving
So it may as well be you
Washing feet
Drying eyes
Carrying a burden
Lending a hand
Ear attuned to those who cry
I need You!
