DO YOU WANT TO KNOW

I’ve mentioned this Josh Wilson tune before. But when I heard it again this morning, it just really made me stop and think once more. I love music that does that, that continually reaches out and grabs you every time you hear it! Thanks, Josh!

The lyrics are really powerful, and Haiti came back to the forefront of my mind. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had the urge to just pack up and get to Haiti somehow. I’ve got some of my own drama unfolding, as most of you know, but it seems so small in comparison. Haiti weighs heavy on my heart, and I want to do something, anything really. The image of the children is embedded on my soul.

LORD, please show me what I can do? I want to know.

Do You Want To Know
by Josh Wilson

If you want a heart of sympathy
Then pray to God to help you, please
See the world that Jesus sees, yeah
But be careful what you're asking for
'Cause if you're gonna open up that door
There's no going back to before

'Cause once you see a mother who can't feed
The baby that cries in her arms
Your heart will break and you'll lay awake
No, sleep won't come quick anymore
So do you want to know?

You pass him on the way to work
He holds a sign beside the curb
You look away and avoid the hurt
'Cause why should you be held responsible
Besides, he'll probably just spend it all
On cigarettes and alcohol

But once you see that the man on the street
Has a name and a family like you
Your heart will break and you'll lay awake
'Cause you'll understand God loves him too
So do you want to know? Oh, no

If you want a heart of sympathy
Then pray to God to help you see
But once you see a world that's in need
And a sorrow you just can't ignore
Your heart's gonna break and you'll lay awake
'Cause you'll know you could do so much more

Do you want to know?
Do you want to know?
