I’m the man on the street holding a sign,
I know what it says but look in my eyes,
I need more than money.
I am the single mother of three,
I know how it looks but please don’t condemn me,
I need you to reach me.
Will you pray for me, will you speak to me, be moved by compassion for me.
Help me I’m falling, does anybody hear me calling out,
I’m calling out for help,
I’m in too deep to save myself alright,
Save myself oh I need someone to help me.
I’m the lawyer you met in the coffee shop,
I know I seem fine but really I’m not,
My life is crashing.
I’m the city you drive through on your way to work,
Can’t you hear my streets crying full of pain and hurt,
Send me a preacher.
Will you reach to me, please preach to me, there’s not much time!
Help me I’m falling, does anybody hear me calling out,
I’m calling out for help,
I’m in too deep to save myself alright,
Save myself oh I need someone to help me.
Will you pray for me, intercede for me,
Reach down to me, be God’s hand for me,
Preach it straight to me, show God’s word to me,
Fight hell for me, save my sinning streets,
We need a hero!
Help me I’m falling, does anybody hear me calling out,
I’m calling out for help,
I’m in too deep to save myself alright,
Save myself oh I need someone to help me,
Someone to pray for me, someone to reach for me.
Help me I’m falling, does anybody hear me calling out,
I’m calling out for help.
Hearing this song tore at my heart so much I wept! I wept for how much we pass broken hearts on the street and not reach out for them. At how people need someone to reach out to them but we’re too busy going for Bible study, church conference, or even Sunday service to notice. We’re too busy caught up in our own world we’ve forgotten The Great Commission to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, . . . “! God commissioned us to go to the nations but we are focused on our small lives and trying to get to heaven. The only way God will receive us and say, ‘well done thou good and faithful servant,’ is when we win souls. Did he not say, ‘for I was hungry and you gave me meat, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you took me in, naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came unto me.’ Have we forgotten what is really important? That the salvation of souls is more important than any programme our church might have? James 3:15 – 16: If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit?
Let’s take a second look at our purpose and our focus. Will we walk by the ones that need Christ the most? Will we condemn those we think are sinners and stick our noses up? Lord help us fulfil our commission!
