about

Frank: “The chorus of this song had been in my heart for years, but I never took the time to work on the verses. Until my friends in the band Trinity encouraged me to finish it so it could be included on their album, Este Momento. I tried many different options for the verses, but in the end it seemed most appropriate to express Gods heart for the lost, the widows & orphans.

His heart is crying out for His servants, you and me, to reach out to those who are in need, to even lay down our lives for them. This is so far removed from the self centered, feel good prosperity rethoric of so much of the Western church. Yet it is the only religious observance that the Bible calls pure and faultless in James 1:27.
You have so much to give to the world, to bring heaven to earth by your faith put in action, empowered by the Spirit of God who lives inside of you”.

lyrics

Beyond the distant shores
I hear the silent cry
Of people torn apart by wars
Starving children left to die

Destitute in darkening fear
Fathers pray their desperate prayers
For the gods to finally hear
And send someone who really cares

Who will go where I would go?
Who will feed their hungry souls?

Chorus:
Be still and know that I am God
When darkness comes in like a flood
Be still and know; find rest in me
The Light eternal

Child of God and child of men
Will you hear me when I call
Or will you close your eyes again
And let my words on deaf ears fall

You are called to be like me
To bring to life the barren lands
Destined for eternity
So be my hope, be my hands

Will you be who I will be
Will you set the captives free
