May she guide the poor and blind
Seek the lost until she find
And the brokenhearted bind
We beseech thee, hear us
We beseech thee, hear us
I'm not exactly sure what it looks like for the church to do this. But I have a pretty good feeling that we are not fulfilling this prayer right now. There are definitely those that are doing one, two, or three, of the pleas that Thomas Pollock penned in the 1800s. But where is the balance of faithfulness to scripture and its resulting passion for the sheep without a shepherd? I can't say that I see the entire body of Christ pursuing the lost and helpless and bringing them into our congregations. As always, I have lots of questions, but no answers. Make this stanza your prayer with me this week!
