It’s hard to believe that it has been a whole year since the beautiful nation of Haiti was struck with one of history’s most devastating natural disasters! …I will never forget the brokenness I felt as I heard of the pain and suffering that the people of Haiti were experiencing. Although I was relieved that none of my personal friends were killed during the earthquake, it was crushing to know that so many people, so many family members of the people I care so much about, had been hurt and lost.
This song captures the thoughts, the feelings, and the hearts of so many…in such a beautiful way!

Are You Listening?
(I was hungry...You fed me. Naked...you clothed me. They will know us by our love. )

Can't imagine how it felt as you lay there Through the dark, through the heat, through the cold. With your friend, by your side Held his hand and watched him die And you cried as you prayed for his soul.

I can't imagine how it felt as you stood there Through the winds that would just not go away. Kiss my wife. Tell my son, 'My work on Earth is done.' You're the One that can still hear them say...

Is there anybody out there listening? And does anybody know my name? No, my friend we were not there, But we're here and we care... And yes, we feel your pain. And yes, we feel your pain.

I can't imagine how you felt as you sat there, Trying to hide the fear upon your face. As the Earth begins to cry And you ask the preacher, 'Why?' Tonight, we can hear the children say... Hear them say...

Is there anybody out there listening? And does anybody know my name? No, my friend we were not there But we're are here and we care And yes, we feel your pain.

And does anybody out there know me? (Do you know me?) Can you stop the clock, make this go away? (Make it go away) No, that cross you cannot bare But God can and He cares And yes, HE feels your pain. And yes, HE feels your pain.

He's been anybody see, Because my faith has gotten weak. Don't know how much more I can take Hear my heart and please don't deny.

Is there anybody out there listening? And does anybody know my name? Oh, my friend we were not there But we're here and we care And yes, we feel your pain.

Is there anybody out there listening? (Does anybody know?) Does anybody know my name? (Does anyone know my name?) Oh, my friend we were not there But I'm right here and I care And yes, (yes) we feel (i feel) your pain.

Does anybody out there know me? (Do you know me?) Then stop the clock and make this go away. (You can make this go away) No, that cross I cannot bare But He can and He cares. Yes, He feels your pain. Ooo...and yes, He feels your pain. Yes, He feels your pain. (Thank you, Jesus)

(The clock is ticking. We hear you. Oh my, oh my. We see you.) He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. (You and me sister. You and me brother. My, my...) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooo, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
