The Lost are Found

"Hello my friend
I remember when you were
So alive with your wide eyes
Then the light that you had in your heart was stolen
Now you say that it ain't worth stayin'
You wanna run but you're hesitatin'
I'm talkin' to me

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin'
Love is calling you

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

Why do we go with the flow
Or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way
Love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
(Stand out)
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
(Stand out)
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it"

We need to stand up for what we believe in and NEVER give up. This means we have to work at it. Work??!! What the heck!! I know, work sucks. However, think of all the benefits you get from standing up for what we believe. This goes are all aspects of our lives from our religion to the raising of our children. Fight for your marriage, fight for you right to vote. Fight for your child's hugs and kisses and fight for your turn in line. Show the world your "guns" and stand up.

We knew that tonight was going to be different. We had to leave our comfort zones behind. We changed seats to share parts of our stories. First was just an easy one to break the ice. First kiss, with who, and with tongue. Pretty easy for all of us. The the next thing came in. We had then tell the guys about when we first found Christ. For me it is so hard to remember such things. We never really had a church home. We never went to church with exception on Xmas and Easter. Still I want to follow him. I want to do as he did. Be the ultimate sacrifice for good.
