Song Lyrics

Verse:
I had pled the Lord,
To seek for their salvation,
And I had ignored
His vow: “…make you a nation;”

O, my heart does grieve;
My sorrow is on-going;
If they would just believe;
It’s Him they would be knowing.

Chorus:
I don’t wanna live
With my people dying;
I just wanna give;
It’s for them, I’m crying;

Let me be accursed,
That they may be saved;
My heart just wants to burst;
The cross my Jesus braved;

Verse:
Please, Lord, hear my prayer,
For the people of my land;
May they see You there,
With Your outstretched hand;

Spirit, do as You have done me,
Convict them of their sin;
From their sin, make free,
And be born again;

Repeat Chorus


Based on:

“And the LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people! Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation.”
Then Moses pleaded with the LORD his God, and said: “LORD, why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people whom You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’” So the LORD relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.”—Exodus 32:9-14;

“I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,”—Romans 9:2-4
