They Slip Away

We come into Your house with humble hearts Worshiping with others we lift our voices With bended knee we pray As Your Spirit flows through the sanctuary A still small voice whispers in our ears Who will hear it? Who will respond? Quietly the voice tells us of Your love, Sadly though it reveals those that we have lost In our attempt to persevere in our walk, we miss the hurting Those hurting souls that came in seeking something In our efforts, we fall short, and neglected to relate Until quietly they slip away, empty, sad and lonely Forgive us Lord! Forgive us! Let us not be so self-absorbed in our own needs That we miss seeing the needs of others Let our hearts break, let our hands reach out To lift up the lost hurting soul Bringing love and comfort, more so leading them to You
