The sound of the bitter cries
Not without but within
Every tear that falls
It comes from a burning pain

The silent scream to be understood
This is what they long to be heard and behold
But instead of a merciful listening ear
It's a ravening mouth ready to tear

Is this what love had taught us
Is this what we've learned from JESUS
No, absolutely not!
For He came not for the righteous but for the lost

So cut off your pointing finger if you want to reach out
Pluck out your condemning eyes if you want to find the lost
Swallow your spit if you want to share your hope
And nail your feet on the cross if you want to spread God's love
