Scripture
Matthew 9:36-38
Verse 1
Let your heart be broken
For a world in need:
Feed the mouths that hunger,
Soothe the wounds that bleed,
Give the cup of water
And the loaf of bread
Be the hands of Jesus,
Serving in His stead.
Verse 2
Here on earth applying
Principles of love,
Visible expression -
God still rules above-
Living illustration
Of the Living Word
To the minds of all who've
Never seen or heard.
Verse 3
Blest to be a blessing,
Privilege to care,
Challenged by the need -
Apparent everywhere.
Where mankind is wanting,
Fill the vacant place.
Be the means through which the
Lord reveals his Grace.
Verse 4
Add to your believing
Deeds that prove it true,
Knowing Christ as Savior,
Make Him Master, too
Follow in His footsteps,
Go where He has trod;
In the world's great trouble
Risk yourself for God.

A contemporary hymn calling for compassion toward the lost and needy, with conviction to share the Gospel.
