Do you see?

Do you see, do you see all the people sinking down?

Don't you care, don't you care, are you gonna let them drown?

How can you be so numb not to care if they come?

You close your eyes and pretend the job's done

"Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord", you know it's all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds, and He cares for your needs
And you just lay back and keep soaking it in
Oh, can't you see it's such a sin?

Cause He brings people to your door, and you turn them away
As you smile and say, "God bless you, be at peace"
And all heaven just weeps 'cause Jesus came to your door
You've left him out on the streets

Open up, open up and give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries, so how can you delay
God's calling and you're the one; but like Jonah you run
He's told you to speak but you keep holding it in,
Oh can't you see it's such sin?

The world is sleeping in the dark that the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light
How can you be so dead when you've been so well fed?
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed

Come away, come away, come away with Me my love,
Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, my love.

The words of this song still pierce my heart just like they did in 1981 when I was driving home from my teaching job and it came on the radio.  I was waiting at a stoplight in downtown Minneapolis as dozens of people were crossing in front of me on their way home from work.  I heard the words, saw the people and began to weep, which turned to deep sobs as I began to feel God's heart for the lost.  The light turned green so I drove on and pulled over as the song continued.  I committed my life to missions service that day and became a missionary in 1982, during the same summer that Keith died in a plane crash.
