Lyrics While We Sing - Leeland

I've sat by for too long
And I've watched the hurting
Suffer on their own
I have chances everyday
To live like You, die to myself
Give Your love away

And I wonder why
I feel so empty inside

While I sing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
As the hungry roam the streets
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
As the broken are on their knees
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I keep singing

We are frozen, we are still
For the call to be a city on a hill
And as our melodies resound
We cannot hear the silent cry
This world is screaming out

And we wonder why, ooh yeah
We feel so empty inside

While we sing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
As the hungry roam the streets
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
As the broken are on their knees
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
We keep singing, yeah

Remember salvation's day
When Jesus washed our sins away
The lost are crying out to be saved

While we sing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
As the hungry roam the streets
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
As the broken are on their knees
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
We keep singing

But just a song won't heal
The bleeding wounds
Church wake up, we're sleeping
In an empty tomb, yeah

Church arise, arise and shine
Shake yourself from the dust
God is calling us to go
Church arise, arise and shine
Shake yourself from the dust
God is calling us to go

Church arise, arise and shine
Shake yourself from the dust
God is calling us to go
