Story behind the song
I found some words scribbled on a piece of paper that was barely legible and faded...with a bit of editing and some new thought brought this about...probably started this in the late 1970's
Lyrics
We are the voice of the Lord
We are His hands reaching forth
We hold the Light that the world needs desperately
We are the ones that they hear
Is Jesus the message that we bear
We're not our own...we are their hope
'Cause we are His voice
There are children who walk the streets alone
While their parents are crying in their homes
There are families searching desperately
For the love that they once knew
And there are lonely people torn apart
With shattered dreams and broken hearts
But there's an answer in the gospel
Jesus gave to me and you
(chorus)
We are the voice of the Lord
We are His hands reaching forth
We hold the Light that the world needs desperately
We are the ones that they hear
Is Jesus the message that we bear
We're not our own...we are their hope
'Cause we are His voice
(bridge)
Jesus said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
(chorus)
Yes we are the voice of the Lord
Oh we are His hands reaching forth
We hold the Light that the world needs desperately
We are the ones that they hear
Is Jesus the message that we bear
We're not our own...we are their hope
'Cause we are His voice
Yes we're not our own...we are their hope
Oh cause we are His voice
