Have Compassion, Making A Difference
I thought I was a good Christian, I thought I loved the lost;
I believed I was a giving soul – willing to count the cost.
But there was something that was missing, and it truly came clear to me:
If I wanted to make a difference, having compassion was the key.
Chorus:
Have compassion, making a difference,
Share the truth that will make them free –
From a heart stirred by the love of God,
Making a difference – eternally!
I thought I was so satisfied, serving from day to day;
But somehow I made no difference on the lost who came my way.
“Search my heart, oh God!” I cried, “Make me a vessel fit for Your use.
‘Give me souls, or I die.’ It’s Your will alone that I choose.”
Chorus
I see the lost stumbling by, blindly on their way to Hell;
They need to know the Saviour – oh, who will go to them and tell?
Tell them of Jesus who died, so they can live eternally;
Moved with compassion, my heart’s cry, “Here am I, Lord, send me!”
Chorus
Have compassion, making a difference,
Rescue souls that are bound by sin.
The Father’s House is waiting,
For us to bring the prodigals in.
Chorus
Have compassion, making a difference…

And of some have compassion, making a difference:
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jude 1:22-23
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:8
“Give me souls or I die.” – John Hyde, known as Praying Hyde.
