Rescue the Perishing
Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying.
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave.
Weep ore the erring one, Life up the fallen.
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying.
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
Church, open your eyes once more
And see what Christ died for.
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
Down in the human heart, Crushed by the tempter
Feelings lie buried, that grace can restore.
Touched by a loving heart, Waken by kindness
Chords that are broken will vibrate once more.
chorus
As we’re playing our songs, While were sing them well,
Have we forgotten the lost, the reality of hell?
If we say we love God, want to see His will done,
Will we offer our lives or just the songs we have sung?
Do we even care…when will we care?
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave.
Weep ore the erring one, Life up the fallen.
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

And see what Christ died for.
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
Down in the human heart, Crushed by the tempter
Feelings lie buried, that grace can restore.

Freakin' awesome song... I'm also partial to the "Foote" version of "Love Lifted Me"
Honestly, I hadnt heard of this song until I purchased the "Foote" CD, and was very excited to find it in my mom's Broadman Hymnal. There is some good stuff in there... Personal fave- "Pass Me Not"
Who is this posting as "t holla'?"
