Give Me A People


Give me a people with a heart to know me
People who want to see others set free
Broken hearts mended and lives made complete
When laid in submission at the Master's feet
People concerned about more than their own
Giving their lives to the Saviour on loan
To fulfil His commission, set all people free
To be used by the Lord to any degree.

There are people whose hearts are so burdened with care
They can't seem to lift themselves from despair
Their hearts are so burdened and hurting inside
And night after night all they do is cry
They need to know Jesus can help them today
They need His sweet Spirit to melt all hurt away
They need to be told that they don't have to be
So sad and heart broken, for they can be free.

There's only one answer to their need today
The answer is Jesus, He'll take all hurt away
He'll bind up the wounds with His kind healing hand
He'll place joy within them and cause them to stand
The hurt and the sadness will leave and depart
The peace of the Saviour will then fill their heart
They'll have an assurance down deep in their soul
For they'll be restored, healed and made whole.

My children be watching for people today
When you least expect it I'll send them your way
For you are My body extended to be
My hands and My mouthpiece to be used by Me
If you will allow My Spirit to flow
You'll minister for Me wherever you go
You'll be so happy that you did your part
You'll see people restored with a brand new heart
