How does Jesus feel,
when He sees many’s lack of love and
power,
in this present world,
in this final hour?
He didn’t go to the cross,
so we could hold this big debate,
as many plunge into hell,
sealing their final fate.
Where’s our urgency?
How many slip through our hands,
while we sit here singing with the praise
and worship band?
Do we go out and testify or not?
Many souls are being deceived and in hell they rot?
Jesus loves us so much,
and gave His life for all.
But we sit here and question who can come and who can call.
How does Jesus feel with the present church’s state?
Souls are very precious to Him,
and it’s getting really late. 
How does Jesus feel,
as He bows His head to pray,
His nail-scarred hands folded,
asking the Father to have His way?
