Look Deep Inside Your Heart For Some Change

We're hungry.
No, we're starving
and everyday we die from lack of something to eat
and everyday we cry for our cold hearts to be warmed,
but we're asleep.

We stand there
bundled up in our hand-me-down wear
hoping someone will have the decency to care
that we too have been broken, and correction,
we too have fallen short of perfection.

But with haughty eyes so glazed that they glare
apathetic themselves, they've got nothing to spare.
"They'll spend it on booze, use it for drugs.
Why should we help? They're societies thugs!"

So with our tail between our legs, we slowly crawl away
nobody accepts us, so why should we change?
We accept our fate
we're homeless. We're orphans. We're fakes.
But I'm sorry
did Jesus really die so we could live this way?
carrying the cross, drying in shame
He hung up there
bleeding out His invitation to something better
resurrecting in three days to give His promises power
yet even in this truth our hearts have turned sour.

We get angry at Him
asking, "Why don't You feed us??
I thought we were Your children!"
but in reality
He spoils us rotten.

Church..
When will we wake up and see this issue
that we've sold our souls for a cold bowl of soup?
America don't care cuz they see nothing different
just bums in the street trapped by their own ignorance.
Church..
When did we become so indignant?

Lets get down on our knees
and I mean really pray
its time to repent, bride, its finally time to change.
We are His children, we receive the inheritance
it's about time we start living in this confidence.

We are His bride, He's given us His love
it's time to stop running, cuz He is enough.
So lets stop begging for something to eat
when He told us His flesh is all that we need
see my friends,
The King of the universe invites us to dine
His body's our bread, His blood is our wine.

--Peace and Love.
