One of my pastors encouraged me to write a song to remind people about helping our unsaved family, friends and loved ones. This song compares the cry of a child to the cry of the lost.

Listen To Their Cry
lyrics and music by
Mike Fisher

In the quiet of the night a voice is faintly heard
A voice which breaks the silence without a single word
The cry of one in need desiring to be held
In loving arms of comfort to know that all is well
The voice is but a child confused and all alone
They cannot help themselves a parent's help is all they've known
Without this tender care this child would surely die
If no one would respond and listen to their cry

Listen to the cry of those who are in need
Listen to the cry listen as they plead
They are within your reach it's up to you to try
Bring them to the Father's arms and listen to their cry

In the darkness of this world so very long ago
Men found themselves confused not knowing where to go
The cries of men were heard by the Father of us all
Who sent His Son to save us He listened our call
The cries of men still linger it's up to us to hear
And bring them to the Father and let Him wipe away their tears
We can't refuse to hear them calling we can't stop to question why
We can only run to save them as we listen to their cry

Can you hear their cry
Can you feel their pain
Tell them Jesus loves them
Tell them Jesus saves
Compel them to come in
Let them hear your voice
Bring them to the Lord
Help them make a choice
Their life is like a vapor
Soon to pass away
Their soul is in your hands
Don't wait another day
