Mining For Precious Jewels
Compassionate hearts called to action,
mining for precious jewels.
Bright eyes open today.
The fog of apathy falls from faces...
to see the fearful...
to see the hungry.
Open hearts overflow today,
mining for precious jewels.
Compassionate souls
through cities and countries
step across concrete and pastures,
searching, hoping, healing...
mining for precious jewels.
The cries of children are heard,
piercing the night like thunder.
Open arms comfort the hurting today.
May we all act as His hands and feet
just for today, responding to the calls
for help, mining for precious jewels,
seeking the babes buried in pain.
May we show compassion,
nurturing the innocent,
just for today...
mining for precious jewels.
