Tell Them

TELL THEM Tell them that I love them Just the way they are To the poor and filthy I came To bring hope, a new start and care I came to condemn them not But to show them that I care a lot Tell them they are precious in my eyes And I will cause them to rise Above that which is pressing them down I was laid on my head a thorny crown And the spear pierced my side For them I paid the ultimate price Tell them I died for their sake I suffered the beatings and endured the pain I was nailed to the cross For their gain I became a loss That excruciating pain was not in vain All that I am and all that I have to them I gave Tell them I became poor so they can be rich And to the broken, the hurting and the sick I came to be the healing balm And also to command their storms to calm I came to save those that are lost And to elevate them from the dust Tell them that I love them That I had them in mind Before I laid the foundations of the earth And that I’ll make them forever mine If they take a step to a second birth Tell them that I love them
