Compassion Lyrics

WE SAY THAT WE ARE CHRISTIANS
AND WE REALLY LOVE THE LORD
BUT DO WE FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE
DO WE OBEY HIS WORD

PEOPLE ARE LOST HURT AND DYING
WITHOUT CHRIST IN THEIR LIVES
DO WE TRY TO MEET THEIR NEEDS
OR DO WE LET THEM PASS US BY

INSTEAD OF POINTING FINGERS
AND SAYING WHO TO BLAME
LET US TRY TO LIVE LIKE JESUS
AND BRING HONOR TO HIS NAME

COMPASSION
WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
A GENUINE REACTION
NOT FOR FORM NOR FASHION

IF WE WANT TO REACH THE LOST
WE MUST SEE NEEDS AND NOT FAULTS
WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
IN ORDER TO BE LIKE THE LORD

HELP THE BLIND MAN ACROSS THE STREET
BE KIND TO STRANGERS AND THOSE YOU MEET
YOU SEE IT DOESN'T COST MUCH
TO GIVE A GENTLE TOUCH
TO SPEAK WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
TO SOMEONE IN NEED OF SUCH

IF WE'RE GOING TO REACH THE LOST
WE MUST SEE NEEDS AND NOT FAULTS
WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
IN ORDER TO BE LIKE THE LORD

COMPASSION
WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
A GENUINE REACTION
NOT FOR FORM NOR FASHION

IF WE WANT TO REACH THE LOST
WE MUST SEE NEEDS AND NOT FAULTS
WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
IN ORDER TO BE LIKE THE LORD

O-O-O
WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
IN ORDER TO BE LIKE THE LORD
HELP THE BLIND MAN
THE HOMELESS ON THE STREET

WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
IN ORDER TO BE LIKE THE LORD

O-O-O YEAH
WE MUCH SHOW COMPASSION
IN ORDER TO BE LIKE THE LORD

AH-H-H
OH-OH
HEY HEY HEY HEY
HELP THE BLIND MAN
THE HOMELESS

WE MUCH SHOW COMPASSION
OH COMPASSION
OH COMPASSION
OH-H-H COMPASSION

WE MUST SHOW COMPASSION
IF YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THE LORD
I WANT TO BE LIKE THE LORD
I WANT TO BE AN EXAMPLE
HEY HEY HEY HEY
TO BE LIKE THE LORD-ORD-ORD
