Do Something Now

[Verse 1: Amy Grant, Larry Norman, Kathy Troccoli & Russ Taff]

Do we see Jesus in their hungry eyes?

Or are we so numb that we can’t sympathize?

Maybe we’re too willing just to eulogize instead of

Rolling up our sleeves and tryin’

To resurrect a world that’s dyin’

Oh, we got a world that’s dyin’

[Verse 2: Evie Karlsson & Phil Keaggy]

Down in Ethiopia

A silent baby clings to an empty breast

Ooh, down in Ethiopia

Another cries for food or eternal rest

[Pre-Chorus: Scott Wesley Brown & Michele Pillar]

We can touch somebody

Reach out with love to a helpless place

Everybody is our brother and sister

Reach out and be an agent of grace

[Chorus]

Do something now

See their broken lives

Pick up the pieces

Do something now

Open up your heart

Share the love of Jesus

[Post-Chorus: Steve Camp]

If we really cared, we’ll do somethin’ now

[Verse 3: Sandi Patty & Russ Taff]

Here in utopia

They’re just another item in the news tonight

Oh, wake up, America

They’re dying while we’re dreaming about paradise

[Pre-Chorus: Dana Key, Mylon LeFevre & Jessy Dixon]

We can touch somebody

Reach out with love to a helpless place

Everybody is our brother and our sister

Reach out and be an agent of grace

[Chorus: Choir, Jessy Dixon & Steve Taylor]

Do something now (we gotta do somethin’)

See their broken lives

Pick up the pieces

Do something now

Open up your heart

Share the love of Jesus

[Post-Chorus: Steve Taylor]

If we really cared

We’ll do somethin’

We gotta do somethin’

[Bridge: 2nd Chapter of Acts & Matthew Ward]

Jesus said

“When you do it for one of these

You’ve done it unto Me”

When one hurts, we all hurt

‘Cause we’re a family

[Pre-Chorus: Sheila Walsh & Phil Keaggy]

And there’s a blessin' when we sacrifice

You’ve got to give yourself away to save one more life

Just one more life, yeah

You can save one more life

[Chorus: Choir & Jessy Dixon]

Do something now

See their broken lives

Pick up the pieces

Do something now

Open up your heart (don’t you care?)

Share the love of Jesus (share the love of Jesus)

[Chorus: Choir & Jessy Dixon]

Do something now

See their broken lives (listen to the children)

Pick up the pieces (while they’re tellin’ you to do something)

Do something now (yeah)

Open up your heart

Share the love of Jesus

[Chorus: Choir, Sandi Patty & Russ Taff]

(Do something now)

They’re our brothers and our sisters

We’ve gotta share the love of Jesus

(Do something now)

See their broken hearts

Don’t you see that they need us?

[Chorus: Choir, Evie Karlsson & Michele Pillar]

(Do something now) They need to see

And we need to be

One family

(Do something now)

Down in Ethiopia

You’ve to take time

[Chorus: Choir, Michele Pillar & Phil Keaggy]

Do something now (Just a little time)

To see their broken lives

(Ooh) Pick up the pieces

Do something now (Ooh, open your heart)

Open up your heart (Open your heart)

Share the love of Jesus (Everybody, hey)

[Outro]

Do something now

See their broken lives

Pick up the pieces

Do something now

Open up your heart
