As we walked the streets of Santa Elena the first time and saw the children of poverty I wrote the first part of this. After living there the children and answered prayers from God gave me the second part. I thank both of them.

Lord, we your forgotten children
Reach out to you
From our birth pace of poverty and hunger
In out silent suffering we reach out to you
With empty stomachs and tears that tell our story
From an unheard story we reach out to you
We are small children in a big world
With small voices we reach out to you
From here it is hard for us to dream of tomorrow
With hopeful hearts we are reaching out to you
Lost and lonely we were born and live in this world
With hearts longing for love we reach out to you
Hear our call o lord, reach out to us
Send us an angel to fill our empty hearts
And answer us Lord for we need to know
Is this the world you have created for us

We have heard your response Lord
You send us more than an angel
You send us a savior
Teach us Lord  how to live in peace and contentment
For surly this is the world you have created for us
As you teach us to live
We will teach others
Lord we your beloved children
Reach out to you with hearts filled with hope and praise
We say worthy is the Lord and great is His love for us
Mighty is hand of mercy and many will he save
The work of the cross is for us
And we will share it with a broken world
Pray for the poor
