Lydia's Song..."Can You Hear The Orphan Cry?"

Lydia has been playing the guitar and "sangin' for a couple of years now. She wanted to write a song about the orphans, so she and I sat down a couple of nights ago and wrote this song. She is so excited about it, she wanted to share it. You will be able to tell very quickly that we are not a professional studio (ha! ha! ha! ha!---that is worth several laughs), we just have a microphone upstairs set up for Caleb and Lydia's "garage band" (Caleb plays the electric guitar). Hopefully you will hear the message (and a precious heart for the orphans) in the song:

147 million strong, an army of the very young

Can you hear the orphan's cry?

No weapons for them to use,

Their lives are shattered and abused,

Can you hear the orphan's cry?

You can make it right,

You can save a life,

Show them the way!

No one knows their name,

Lost in a foreign place,

Show them the way!

Pure religion is this,

Help the orphan in need,

He says, Whatever you do for the least,

You do for Me, You do for Me!

They are your sister and your child,

Longing to feel your warm embrace,

Now that you know, why hesitate?

God is speaking to your heart,

Get out and do your part,

Don't delay....why not today?

You can make it right,

You can save a life,

Show them the way!

No one knows their name,

They're lost in a foreign place,

Show them the way!

147 million strong....Can you hear the orphan's cry???
