[Verse 1]
There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
Peoples' hopes have fallen
To the ground
From Failures
This is an emergency
[Chorus]
There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We're crying for them
Come back home
We're crying for them
Come back home
And all Your children
Will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home
[Verse 2]
There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In it's state of desperation
For Your glory
This is an emergency
[Bridge]
Sinner, reach out your hands
Children, in Christ you stand
Sinner, reach out your hands
Children, in Christ you stand
