the fields are white with harvest....they're waiting for someone....no closer to the heart of God than these....

Story behind the song
Leslie Nease of New Life 91.9 in Charlotte, NC recently went on a trip to Bolivia with Compassion International...when getting ready the first day to go see the kids looking for sponsors they were told what to expect from the kids...they were told, "it doesn't get any closer to the heart of God than this"...those words really stuck with me
Lyrics
Waiting For Someone
Verse one
High on the mountain in a poor small town,
Hopeless, eyes pointed down:
The little child waits for someone who will look into his eyes
And hear his heart cry.
Pre-chorus
He’s waiting for someone who will look with compassion on a child.
He’s waiting for someone whose work will make the Lord smile.
Chorus
We’re no closer to the heart of God than this.
We draw closer when we’re helping one of His.
We’re no closer to the heart of God than this,
Than this little child who is waiting for someone.
Verse two
Lives are broken, shattered and thrown to the wind
From hearts full of sin.
They need to find a better way, a way found through Gods’ own Son,
With faith as a little one.
Pre-chorus
They’re waiting for someone who will help them ‘cause they’ve been there before.
They’re waiting for someone who will say, “Just open your hearts’ door”.
Bridge
They’re waiting for someone.
They’re waiting for someone.
They’re waiting for someone.
Oh, these little ones are waiting on someone.
