Does Anybody Hear her?

Casting Crowns most current CD is so anointed and heart rending..... http://www.castingcrowns.com/

There is this one song on it that breaks my heart....(one of many) because it was me for so many years...and I see this same story played out is the lives of young women all around me... It is called, Does Anyboy Hear Her?

She is running

A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

She is trying

But the canyon's ever widening in the depths of her cold heart

So she sets out on another misadventure just to find

She's another two years older and she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her

Can anybody see

Or does anybody even know she's going down today

Under the shadow of our steeple

With all the lost and lonely people

Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her

Can anybody see

She is yearning

For shelter and affection
She is searching

For a hero to ride in

To ride in and save the day

And in walks her prince charming and he knows just what to say

Momentary lapse of reason and she gives herself away

If judgment looms under every steeple

If lofty glances from lofty people

Can't see past her scarlet letter

And we never even met her

Does anybody hear her

Can anybody see

Or does anybody even know she's going down today

Under the shadow of our steeple

With all the lost and lonely people

Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her

Can anybody see

Then it ends with the line:

He is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

Meaning Jesus is running after her….

Oh that was me…that was SOOOO me…Thank goodness my real prince charming came after me….wallowing in the mud of my mistakes….
