While We Sing

I've sat by far too long
And I've watched the hurting suffer on their own
I have chances everyday
To live like You, die to myself

Give Your love away
And I wonder why I feel so empty inside
While I sing la la la la la la la la la
As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la
As the broken are on their knees
La la la la la la la la la
I keep singing

We are frozen, we are still
But we're called to be a city on a hill
And as our melodies resound
We cannot hear the silent cry

This world is screaming out
And we wonder why we feel so empty inside
While we sing la la la la la la la la la
As the hungry roam the streets

La la la la la la la la la
As the broken are on their knees
La la la la la la la la la
We keep singing

Remember salvation's day
When Jesus washed our sins away
The lost are crying out to be saved
While we sing la la la la la la la la la

As the hungry roam the streets
La la la la la la la la la
As the broken are on their knees
La la la la la la la la la

We keep singing
But just a song won't heal
The bleeding wound
Church wake up

We're sleeping in an empty tomb
Church arise, arise and shine
Shake yourself from the dust
God is calling us to go
