Do you want to know?

If you want a heart of sympathy,then pray to God to help you see the world that Jesus sees. But be careful what you ask Him for. Because, if you're going to open that door, There's no going back to before

Once you see a mother who can't feed

The baby that cries on her arms

Your heart will break and you'll lay awake. No, sleep won't come quick anymore. So do you want to know.

You pass him on the way to work 

He holds a sign beside the curb

You look away and avoid the hurt because why should you be held responsible. Besides, he'll probably just spend it all on cigarettes and alcohol. But once you see that the man on the street has a name and a family like you, your heart will break and you'll lay awake because you'll understand God loves him too. So do you want to know. 

Oh no, if you want a heart of sympathy, then pray to God to help you see, but once you see a world that's in need and a sorrow you just can't ignore, your heart will break an you'll lay awake, because you'll know you could do so much more.

After I walk past one of them, then I ask, who should be responsible?, the socialist will say the government, but my Bible points directly at me. 

Do I really want to know? 

If God really opens my eyes to see this world the way Jesus sees it, will I turn back? 

We sing about bringing hope to the hopeless. We read about defending the fatherless...but do we really know what we know? 

Because once we know how people are dying in pain, just looking for a family...friend ...or probably love..
