God surveys the world below,
searching for the one's who will go.
To seek the lost and heal the broken,
feed the hungry and serve the poor.
He sends the Spirit to find the one's
who will heed his call and leave it all.

The Spirit goes to the most obvious place,
where people gather to worship and praise.
The Spirit sends them a message of God's love and grace,
and shows them the need of the world in pain,
The people eagerly get out their checkbooks and ask "how much?"
Yet the Spirit replies, "It is not money I seek.
I am searching for the one's who are willing to go."

Some ignore the Spirit's calling and write big checks,
and leaving feeling good for the difference their money will make.
Others frown and turn away,
and as they leave you will hear them say,
"Sorry God, but I don't have the time."
"Sorry God, but I just can't juggle another responsibility."
"Sorry God, but that not part of MY life plan."
"Sorry God, but my life's more important than following you."

The Spirit is saddened,
for the people who say they love God,
do no seem to understand God's love at all.
The cries of broken lives bring tears' to God's eyes,
yet His people are too caught up in their own lives,
to udnerstand the truth of His grace,
by which he saved the human race.

The Spirit roams throughout the land,
searching for the one's who will listen,
to God's voice calling them to a better way of life.
The question is there, "Who will go?"
To step into the lives of others and make a difference.
The Spirit is waiting, will you be the one to respond,
"I am here, Lord. Send ME."
