O Church, come and behold the world
See where sin's banner waves unfurled
Face the suffering, touch the pain
See the innocence Satan has slain
Know the darkness, feel the grief
The devestation of unbelief
Remember that could have been you
For only grace has brought you through
How can we stand and let them fall?
Can we ignore the gospel's call?
"O come you weary, come the broken
Come, unknown, with pain unspoken."
How will they come if none will go?
How will they see? How can they know?
Raise up the fallen, seek the dying
Feel the pain, share in the crying.
Arise, O Church, and seek the lost
Open the Word, uphold the cross
Bridge the divide, take down the rope,
And let out cry be "There is HOPE!"
