The first two years of ministry I hitched hiked from church to church conducting revivals. During my second revival I was sleeping on the streets among the homeless in Venture California. As I was walking the streets in what seem to be a foreign country for a Georgia boy like me, I passed many people during the day. I saw not only homeless people; I saw every class of people one could think of from children to adults. One morning as I was taking all this in, a deep burden hit me concerning what I was seeing and I began to sing a new song out of my spirit over and over all that day. This song still rings in my heart 40 years later.
"Tell me tell me tell me why people everywhere they cry, seeking for some hope, seeking for some peace, and never finding their reality" (repeat).
What is this reality? Ontologically, without Jesus we are not complete, we are lost and undone.
