[Spoken Word]
“This isn’t a prayer for comfort.
This is a prayer for survival.
For the ones the world steps over…
If You’re listening—
please don’t look away.”
[Intro - Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Cardboard walls and broken sleep
Cold concrete beneath their feet
City lights don’t see their names
Just shadows drifting in the rain
Wooden pallets, stolen warmth
Sirens sing them back to dawn
Empty hands, a paper cup
Asking just for enough
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t pray for crowns or gold
Just a place they can belong
Just one voice that doesn’t pass
Just one day that doesn’t ask too much
[Chorus]
So God, if You’re listening tonight
Hear the ones without a home
The hungry hearts, the silent cries
The souls the world lets go
They’re not asking to be saved
Just seen, just known, just loved
So if You’re listening tonight
Teach us how to show up
[Verse 2]
Dumpster dinners, borrowed hope
Counting hours, not the days
Every face that turns away
Cuts deeper than the hunger pains
Greed walks past in tailored suits
Coins clink loud in empty hands
They ask for crumbs, they ask for time
They get silence as the plan
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They’re not lazy, they’re not weak
They’re just worn down to the bone
Every story has a start
Every heart was once a home
[Chorus]
So God, if You’re listening tonight
Hear the ones without a home
The hungry hearts, the silent cries
The souls the world lets go
They’re not asking to be saved
Just seen, just known, just loved
So if You’re listening tonight
Teach us how to show up
[Bridge]
And if the answer isn’t lightning
If it isn’t heaven’s voice
Let it be our open hands
Let it be our choice
Let us slow our walking pace
Let us learn their names
Let us sit and hear their story
Not look away in shame
[Final Chorus]
So God, if You’re listening tonight
Hear the ones without a home
The hungry hearts, the silent cries
The souls the world lets go
They’re not asking to be saved
Just seen, just known, just loved
So if You’re listening tonight
Teach us how to show up
Because hope can start with shelter
Hope can start with food
Hope can start with someone saying
“I see you. I’ve got you.”
And God, I still believe somehow
They’ll rise again, they will
No more nights spent wondering
If tomorrow’s even real
[Outro - Instrumental]
[Spoken Word - deep, warm, resolved]
“For everyone who’s cold tonight—
you matter.
For everyone who’s hungry—
you’re not invisible.
And if the world won’t stop to listen…
I will.
We will.”
