F#m E/G# A Bm F#m
Oh suffering soul, crying out for love,
A/E D2
In a world that seldom cares,
F#m E/G# A2 Bm F#m
See the hungry heart longing to be filled,
A/E D2
Much more than our prayers,
Bm F#m E2 D2
And a young girl sells herself on Seventh Avenue,
Bm F#m
And you hear her crying out for help,
A/E D2 D/E
"My God, what will we do?"
[Refrão]
A2 E F#m
Don't tell them Jesus loves them till you're ready to love them too,
D F#m A/C# D
Till your heart breaks from the sorrow and the pain they're going through,
A2 E F#m
With a life full of compassion may we do what we must do,
D F#m A/C# D Esus E A2
Don't tell them Jesus loves them till you're ready to love them too,
Oh, the desperate man,
Are we reaching for the souls that are sinking down in sin?
Oh, cry for the child,
We've lost our passion for the lost and there are billions left to win,
And another forty thousand children starve to death today,
Would we risk all we have to see what of them say,
CHORUS
E F#m D2
Why have we waited so long to show them Jesus lives,
A/E
To share salvation's song,
E F#m D2
Why have our hearts become so proud that we fail to see,
Esus E
To love them is to love God,
And a young girl sells herself on Seventh Avenue,
Hear her crying out for help,
"What will we do?"
CHORUS
A/C# Dmaj7 Esus F#m F#m/E
...til you're ready to love them too,
D2 A G2 D/F# D A2
