Homeless

The glass doors opened before me

And the rush came over me

My breath left my chest

And there I stood, starring, helpless

The world sees them as faceless

Walking by without a single care

To them it`s just another person,

Homeless

I see them each unique

I hear the beating of their hearts

I want to know their story

To me each is another precious

Life

My heart breaks for their pain

For the world and the homeless

Both homeless in their hearts

Searching for a place of refuge

That brings lasting security

Jesus you are the only one who knows their pain

You lived years without a place to rest your head

Teach them what it means for them

To make their home in you

To build its foundation on your truth

Guide us to stop searching

To rest in the place you have for us

The place in your heart

Our home

Jesus move my heart not only to grieve

But also to act on behalf of those you love

Those who need your healing

May the church be your hands and feet

To the homeless

To the world

May we display a home lived in you

That they will make you theirs too
