Solution

Brandon played this new song, Solution, from Hillsong United at Lift tonight. The lyrics are striking and reflect the conversation that I've been having with my friends for months. The conversation has kind of dwindled between us, yet I know that the passion is still in each of our hearts. Hearing the lyrics to this song reminded me of that. This song reminded me that this conversation is far from over, that God has plenty more to say on this subject. Many of my friends have put action to these words over the past months. I am still struggling with what action this conversation requires of me. In the struggle I have just kind of moved to this place of doing nothing until I figure out what is next. I know that doing nothing can't be the answer.

You can check out the song on itunes. It's a single, the new CD doesn't release until later this month.

I wanted to share these lyrics with you. Let them sink into your heart.


It is not a human right
To stand afar while broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find the mercy for the need

Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

It is not too far a cry
Too much to try to help the least of these
Politicians should not decide if we should rise
And be your hands and feet

Singing...
Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be their solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet
Yeah Yeah

Higher than our circumstance
You promise and your love for all to see
Higher than our protest lines and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be their solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be their solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet

Whoa Yeah
Only you can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see

You erase complete the sinner's past
And set the captives free

Only you can take the widow's cry
And cause the heart to see

Be the Father to the fatherless
Our Saviour and our King

We will be your hands
We will be your feet
We run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light,
We will be your light

We will be your hands
We will be your feet
We run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light,
We will be your light

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be their solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be their solution

God is the solution. We are the hands and feet that delivers it to those in need.

God, help me to do something to bring the Solution.
