Luke 19:41-42 Jesus saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.” Can You Hear the City Cry? People hurrying here and there Rushing through each day Running along, running behind Or simply running away And deep in the stillness of the night … Can you hear the city cry? Broken dreams and broken lives Hide in the shadows of every street Fear haunts far too many eyes In the faces that I meet And deep in the stillness of the night … Can you hear the city cry? Listen with the Father’s heart See with His clear knowing eyes And deep in the stillness of the night You can hear the city cry A lost generation, in a godless age So empty and without hope Desperately seeking fulfillment Yet turning down all the wrong roads And deep in the stillness of the night … Can you hear the city cry? I’m filled with such deep longing And a desire from above To share the hope found in Jesus alone Through His priceless love For deep in the stillness of the night I know His heart breaks each and every time … He hears the city cry Oh Father, How Your heart breaks for those who are far from You. How fervently You long to gather them under the shelter of Your wings. Lord, You see every tear, You hear every cry, and You feel the pain of every broken heart. You long to comfort each one. But Lord, You also give us free will. The freedom to turn to You–and the freedom to turn from You. Your love is too pure to ever force us to love You, but oh, how You desire that we would! Thank You for Your mercy and patience in reaching out to those who in their ignorance rebel against You. Thank You, Father, that You patiently waited for me. Send me in any way You choose to reach out to those who are so hopelessly lost without You. I want to share Your heart and I want to be a pure reflection of the Truth. So Lord, please, help me to take the love You’ve poured out on me with such abundance, and pour it out on those who so desperately need to know Your love. Amen...
