A Prayer for the Lost

[Verse 1] Lord, watch the little ones tonight The lambs who wander from the light They cannot find the way alone So come and claim them as Your own Speak the word their hearts can hear And draw the distant children near [Verse 2] Upon those distant, island shores Our ancient stories are not theirs The Gospel sounds like foreign air But Lord, we know that You are there You breathe on bones to make them live The life that only You can give [Chorus] O Sovereign Lord, You save the lost You paid the great and awful cost Break through the walls, reach every heart And finish what You've come to start Though they are far and hearts grow cold Lord, bring Your sheep into the fold [Verse 3] For family so far away We fall upon our knees to pray The miles are wide, but You are near Lord, speak the words they need to hear We cannot turn a single soul But You make broken sinners whole [Bridge] The Word is strange, the cross is new But nothing is too hard for You Beyond the things they understand We leave them in Your mighty hand You know Your own, You know their names Your love can find them just the same [Chorus] O Sovereign Lord, You save the lost You paid the great and awful cost Break through the walls, reach every heart And finish what You've come to start Though they are far and hearts grow cold Lord, bring Your sheep into the fold [Outro] We leave them to Your grace alone Lord, bring the wandering family home
