It was a few years ago when the Lord gave me “The Innocents’ song. The above is a ‘one take’ recording on my iphone looking out our bedroom window.
I listened to it again today after watching the interview with the courageous Jim Caviezel on Elijah Streams, about the long awaited release of the movie Sound of Freedom, appropriately over this 4th July ‘Freedom’ holiday.
Several times Jim used the term,‘The Innocents’ – the name of the song. The line that stood out to me in the chorus as I listened afresh to it was,
‘The time has come’
The time has indeed come as another line in the song says, ‘for the silence of the lambs to give way to thunder’.
Another line that came alive was, ‘The shepherd came and found His sheep……love was the answer.’
God is using men like Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel as real life expressions of his shepherd‘s heart to seek and save these exploited children. He wants to use each one of us too.
‘Wake us up from our sleep from our slumber.
Break our hearts for these ones who are plunder.’
Please listen to the song again. Let God break your heart as you click on the link below and listen to this most compelling interview, and then book your tickets to be part of God’s thunder that will help rescue the 2-6 million children who have until now been ‘led to the slaughter’ each year, for ‘The time has come.’’
This instead, is what we want for our children…….
