I Don't Want to Sing So Loud
Copyright 2011 by Jon Gill

Verse 1:
I was cold and alone
And in need of a home
Addicted and chained to my sin
I sat with a sigh
For I thought you'd pass by
But instead you invited me in

Verse 2:
I'm ashamed and afraid
That the wealth I have made
Is waiting to let me down
Living at a high cost
Built a life that is lost
But you showed me where to be found

Chorus 1:
I don't want to sing so loud
That I can't hear the crowd
Of the people outside these walls
Let my ears hear their cries
Let me look with Your eyes
And run out to answer their calls

Verse 3:
You had mercy on me
And now I am free
But freedom does not stay indoors
It's for those in despair
And who don't think You care
Use us to be there, we are Yours

Bridge:
Here I am, here I am, I am Yours
Heal the blind, cleanse the sick, feed the poor
With Your love, to the world, let me see
Anytime, anywhere, use me

Chorus 2:
Lord, don't let me sing so loud
That I can't hear the crowd
Of the people outside these walls
Let me run to their cries
Let me see with Your eyes
Please use me to answer their calls

(Repeat Bridge)
