What Can I Do
Faith First Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord we know your coming so; we can see the signs
Lord I want to bear you for a little more time
There are so many who don't know you
Oh, Lord there's still so much work to do
Some lost souls are so dear to me
And because of who you are the compassion that's you
Oh, Lord it must tear your great heart in two
What can I do to bring them home to you
What can I do to help them on their way
There is no time to waste there is so much at stake
What can I do
Lord, you fill me with so much that I want to share
Show me what to do to show them how much you care
Oh, and arrange my words and tell me where to start
Make bold my burdened and willing heart
What can I do to bring them home to you
What can I do to help them on their way
Oh, There is no time to waste there is so much at stake
What can I do
How do you change a million hearts (stuck one by one)
What can I do to make a difference (start with love)
Love them with an urgency, compassion, and purity
Love them, love them, just love them
What can I do to bring them home to you
What can I do to help them on their way
There is no time to waste there is so much at stake
What can I do, what can I do
The lyrics of Faith First's song "What Can I Do" are a passionate prayer for guidance and inspiration to help those who do not know God. The song expresses a deep concern for the lost souls and the desire to find ways to bring them to God. The singer acknowledges that this task may seem difficult, and it pains the heart of God to see so many people living without hope or salvation. The first verse sets the stage for this emotional plea, acknowledging the signs of the imminent return of Christ and a strong desire to help more people discover His love. The chorus then asks, "What can I do to bring them home to you? What can I do to help them on their way?" This repeated refrain emphasizes the urgency of the singer's desire to help those who do not know God.
The second verse of "What Can I Do" continues with the idea that the singer is filled with a desire to share the love and teachings of Christ with anyone who needs it. The words "Show me what to do to show them how much you care" are a plea for guidance to help those who may feel lost or left behind. The chorus is then repeated, with the question "What can I do?" ringing out even louder. Finally, the song concludes with the idea that even though changing a million hearts may seem impossible, it can be accomplished one by one, with love and compassion, and a sense of urgency.
