Life
Seems to slip away
On an endless wave
No more to see
A tiny, helpless hand
Reaching out for you
To save
It’s not too late
To save a life

I hear the broken hearted
Crying out in pain
Who will ease their suffering
Who will hide their shame
With tears they are calling
In a silent voice
Screaming into darkness
A life with no choice

And their life
Seems to slip away
On an endless wave
No more to see
A tiny, bruised hand
Reaching out for you
To save
It’s not too late
To save a life

I hear some children crying
In a house that’s not a home
Cold, hungry, dying
In fear and all alone
In this life that’s borrowed
They learn how to cope
Living in deep sorrow
They have no hope

Don’t let this life
Keep slipping away
On an endless wave
No more to see
Reach out to that hand
Reaching out to you
It’s not too late
To save a life

Matthew 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. (KJV)

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (KJV)

2 Corinthians 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Isaiah 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (KJV)

About Post Author

Gerry

Gerry gave his life to Jesus Christ in June of 1985 through the witness of a man who was a member of the Charismatic movement. He first attended a Pentacostal church in his hometown during his final year of high school (1985-1986). After that, he went to university and studied Biology (Entomology/Ecology), graduating with an Honours degree in 1992. During this time, he attended a non-denominational gathering that was much in form like a Brethren assembly, leaving that place in 2004. In 2005, he and his young family began attending a local Baptist church in the city where he lives today. He serves there as the chair of the Christian Education, Missions, and Outreach commission, the coordinator for the Deacons-at-Large, and as the Deacon of the Pastor of the congregation.

His love of the Scriptures began the very night he became a Christian, and has continued to the present day. It is his desire that everyone that comes accross this site would become a careful reader of the Scriptures, even if they disagree with his own opinions about what they say, because he believes that the testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy – and that the main goal of all Christians everywhere should be to follow Jesus to the best of their ability, with a spirit of devotion to the Lord, not just commitment to doctrinal positions. To this end, he has self-published an eBook titled “Practical Discipleship,” available on Amazon.com for the Kindle reader.
