DO WE EVER WEEP?

Do We Ever Weep?

By Karen Sue Hale

Do we ever weep

For the nation that is falling,

For the children who are calling,

The teenagers now crying?

Some of them are dying

To find someone who cares enough

To tell them the word “no”.

Do we ever, ever weep

For morality that’s crumbled?

Do we have a heart that’s humbled?

On our knees are we now praying:

Or are those only words we’re saying,

Thinking someone else will care enough

To follow God and go?

Will we sit and watch

While our world turns from the Father?

Are we too lazy to be bothered?

Wait for someone else to tell them

‘cause we don’t think we can “sell them”

On the only One who cares enough

To die, His love to show.

Will we stay content

As church-time only Christians?

Never have a sense of mission

For the people out there crying,

For our nation literally dying

For someone just to tell them

There’s a Savior they can know?

Oh, I hope that we’ll rise up

From our knees where we’ve been praying,

Listening to the words God’s saying,

Marching forth that we might serve Him

(keep in mind we don’t deserve Him);

And we’ll share His plan with others

Everywhere we go.
