Story Behind the Song:
Our Missions team was still in India working with Dr. Job’s Mission. They were serving at the orphanage and school. As they were gone, you can imagine, being their pastor, I prayed harder than usual and felt very responsible for their safety, support and future ministry. So, praying about missions and the persecuted church makes you think about how great we have it in America and how we have become Overfed and Unconcerned and do not care about our brother. I was reminded of both the passage in Ezekiel 16:49 that said this was the true sin of Sodom, that they were overfed and unconcerned and had need of nothing and that they did not care for the orphan, needy and widow! It seemed to me that this was our sin today. It’s amazing that we can focus in on sexual brokennes as the greatest evil of today and say that is why GOD hates and destroys people or countries, but how often have we noticed passages like this or Revelation chapter 3 that points a finger at our being overfed and unconcerned. Then I remembered Revealtion 3:20 and Jesus’ invitation to the church.
This song was written from these passages and out of this heart. Oh, GOD open our eyes. May we see with YOUR eyes and have compassion on our brother, remembering that with greater riches and ability comes greater responsibilty. AMEN. Enjoy!
