The multitudes, the crowds of people
Nameless sea of humanity
Undone by sin, the walking dead
The heart of Jesus longs for these

Deceived and loving their deception
Plunging deeper into sin
They think not that the Lord is watching
They feel no need to repent

Death approaches yet they mock
No fear of God before their eyes
But judgment waits beyond this life
Before the Christ they have despised

As I look into each face
Their countenance shows forth no life
And my heart breaks, they are so lost
And yet they see no need for Christ

My heart is deeply stirred within me
I can sit no longer idly by
As precious souls that Jesus loves
Are doomed to the eternal fires

So let me be an instrument
A vessel for the Master’s use
A life surrendered to His plans
To be used as He would choose

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8

My heart is deeply stirred within me
I can sit no longer idly by
As precious souls that Jesus loves
Are doomed to the eternal fires

~~[i]~~My heart is deeply stirred within me...[/i]
How can we be in the midst of a multitude of people and not be moved to tears at what lies ahead of those without Christ?!!! And yet, so often when I run into town on an errand I'm just set on my own thing and forget the need of those around me. These are precious souls for whom Christ died! He longs for them, do I?

May this be true of me:

So let me be an instrument
A vessel for the Master’s use
A life surrendered to His plans
To be used as He would choose

~~[i]~~Surrendered to His plans...not mine, my plans must be surrendered to Him.[/i]

Thank you for sharing this, Danielle.

Sisters, let us continue to pray fervently for our hearts to be broken by God for the lost. A brokenness that would not only compel us to our knees in prayer, but also to our feet to proclaim the gospel. First the weeping, then the speaking.
