Touching song...

Sunday in church, Scott, our intern from Baptist Bible College, delivered the sermon, and he asked Shawn, our praise leader, to sing a song associated with his message. I always find it a little trite when people post lyrics to songs on their blog, but these words really hit a chord with me. The song is one that touches my heart so much. I think I have felt this way for a long time. Here are the lyrics to the first verse and the chorus:

Does Anybody Hear Her
She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

It's just taken Casting Crowns a while to put my feelings into a song. If you want to hear the song/see the video follow this link:
