Out There
Michael W. Smith/Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

I talk to you, you talk to me
We communicate with each other in a way that is meaningful to us.

We speak in our own language
Our unique shared experiences and understanding allow us to communicate effectively with one another.

These common truths that we believe
We share a set of beliefs that give us a sense of unity and belonging.

Are like a warm, inviting fire we gather round
Our shared truths provide us with a sense of security and comfort.

But there's a danger lurking here
There is a risk that we might become too comfortable and complacent in our shared beliefs and values.

Inside our place of comfort
We often feel safe and secure in the familiarity of our close relationships.

We've got to go out in the dark
To truly show love to others, we must be willing to leave our comfort zones and face the unknown.

'Cause there's a hungry heart
People are seeking connection and meaning in their lives.

That's longing just to know
People want to feel valued and cared for by others.

That someone cares enough to go
When we take the time to invest in others, we show them that they matter to us.

Out there Someone needs a friend Who'll walk against the wind To a place that's strange and unfamiliar Out there Where all of us have been Until love brings us in So who will dare to go and be a friend 'Cause someone really needs a friend Out there
We must be willing to venture out into the unknown to show love and compassion to those who need it the most.

So we'll sing for you You'll sing along We'll let this song remind us
We use the power of music to bring us together and inspire us to act with kindness and compassion.

Poor, hungry beggars all are we Invited to a feast That none of us deserves Filled to go to love and serve
We are all in need of love, but we can also offer love to others through acts of service and compassion.

Somewhere out beyond the sweet sound Of amazing grace Someone needs to see God's love And mercy face to face
The love and mercy of God is available to all, and we must be willing to go out and show that love and mercy to others in need.

Out there Someone needs a friend Who'll walk against the wind To a place that's strange and unfamiliar Out there Where all of us have been Until love brings us in So who will dare to go and be a friend 'Cause someone really needs a friend Out there
We are reminded that there are people around us who are desperately in need of friendship and kindness, and we must be willing to go out and meet them where they are.
