Everyday I hear about the pain in our world
I walk down the school halls and I think about the stories I've heard from those around me
I listen to the lives of others and my heart breaks
The one kid over there is broken on the inside because his
Mom just committed suicide
That other guy is dying of anxiety because others look at him and see a freak
I look into the eyes of the depressed and broken and all I can do is say you need Jesus
You need the God who made you
The girl over there who's buried her face in her screens is dead on the inside or she will be soon because her Dad didn't give her the love he should've so now she looked for it from another and he's just using her for her body
I hear these stories and collapse under the weight of sadness
You see these are people who lost the flame to live
They lost their reason for life and now they're fighting to live just because they made it this far
The problem is they haven't allowed themselves to be hit by lightning
The reason that I fight so hard to tell others about Jesus is because he broke me with love and when he struck me with lightning
It sparked a fire in my chest that I can't put out
Now I have the joy of life
I have a reason to live because Jesus broke the rules of death
He died for me and took my place in hell
He took my hell and gave me heaven
You see these people I meet everyday are dead with reason for life
It's your choice to live or die
