surely children weren't made for the streets
and fathers were not made to leave
surely this isn't how it should be
let Your kingdom come

have been feeling this and thinking about this for some time now.. and it hits me every once in a while. every illness, every sickness, every mental disability, physical disability, every death. all this wouldn't be here if not for sin.

surely nations were not made for war
or the broken meant to be ignored
surely this just can't be what You saw
let Your kingdom come
here in my heart

i walk thru the halls of the hospital and i see people in pain. people who feel useless cuz of their illness. people who the world deems as crazy and funny. all this shouldn't be here. life isn't supposed to be this hard. do you hear their cries? do you feel their pain? do you see yourself in them?

and i will live to carry Your compassion
to love a world that's broken
to be Your hands and feet

everyone of them is like us. they lived their youthful days. they had dreams. they never thought that they would fall this way. it kinda scares me to see that that could have been me.

and i will give with the life that i've been given
and go beyond religion
to see the world be changed
by the power of Your name

i went to imh and went to one of the 'crazier' wards. there were people screaming. people who were disinhibited. people who clapped to their own rhythm. people who heard voices. and i asked my tutor...why are they like that? and the first thing she said was. some people are just born like that. no one should be born like that. it's just unfair. every creation by God was perfect. perfection. how far have we fallen.

wah. this is too emo for a sat night. and now i don't feel like being a locum.
