Some time ago, as I flew into San Francisco to speak at an evangelistic outreach, suddenly I felt the urgency of the time, and the importance to be there. I began to hear in the Spirit the seriousness of the hour. I could hear the cry of unsaved people crying out for help. Then, as if it was a true-life drama in the sky, airwaves, I could hear the saints ( the church ) of God, crying out, and giving an answer in response to the cries of those in great distress...the unsaved peoples, the multitudes in the valley of decision.

SOS SOS SOS SOS - I could hear SOS signals being sent back and forth - warning danger! danger! danger!

Then I could hear THE WORLD'S CRY and then the Churches Reply

SOS SOS SOS
SOMEBODY OUT THERE SAY YOU LOVE ME...
SAY YOU CARE
SAY THERE IS HOPE FOR ME
SAY YOU LOVE ME

SOS SOS SAVE OUR SOULS
SAVE OUR SOULS
SOS SEE OUR SUFFERING - our plight and our fears
SOS SEE OUR SORROW - our grief our tears
SOS SEE OUR SIN - no one cares about us
SEE OUR SICKNESS - we hurt - we are in pain
SEE OUR SPIRITUAL SLEEP - our apathy, our lack of motivation
SOS SAVE OUR SOULS
SOS SAVE OUR SOULS
SOS SAVE OUR SOULS

THEN AGAIN I HEARD

SOS SOS SOS
SEE OUR SIN SOS
SEE OUR SORROW SOS
SEE OUR SIN SOS
SOS SOS SOS

THEN I HEARD THE CHURCH CRY OUT AND SHOUT
SOS SOS SOS
SEE OUR SHEPHERD - we are cared for
SEE OUR SAVIOR - we have a leader & captain of our army
SEE OUR SOLUTION - it is in JESUS!
SEE OUR STRENGTH - we have a Mighty God - a strong tower - a refuge
SEE OUR SPIRIT - for we are strong in faith
SEE OUR SHIELD - from the world's fiery darts and strategies

THEN MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION STARTED SAYING

SOS SEE OUR SHAME - the pain of our games
SOS SEE OUR SORCERY - our rebellion and drugs
SOS SAVE OUR SOULS • SOS SAVE OUR SOULS • SOS SAVE OUR SOULS
SEE OUR STUMBLING - our stealing and strife

I THEN AGAIN HEARD THE CHURCH CRY OUT

SEE OUR SCRIPTURES - for in them you will find life
SEE OUR SANCTIFICATION - set apart & Holy
SEE OUR SALT - how we are preserved
SEE OUR SANCTUARY - in God's presence there is safety
SOS SOS SOS - wee hear you cry
SEE OUR SACRIFICE - of Praise to God
SEE OUR SAINTS - praising the most High
SEE OUR SINGING - God puts a new song in our heart
SOS SOS SOS - we hear your cry
SEE OUR SOLDIERS - ready for the battle
SEE OUR SHINING LIGHTS - in the world of darkness
SEE OUR STEADFASTNESS - not your instability where in the Lord we stand strong
SEE OUR SECURITY - being hid in Christ
SEE OUR SWORD OR THE LORD - which declares truth
SEE OUR SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS - who arises with healing in His wings
SEE OUR SOLUTION - run to the ark of safety!

That drama continues in every neighborhood, every city, every town, every state, every country, every nation, every continent, even to the end of the world -
"SOS SOS SOS
SOMEBODY OUT THERE SAY YOU LOVE ME!
SAY YOU CARE!
SAY THERE IS HOPE FOR ME!
SOS! SOS! SOS! SAVE OUR SOULS! SAVE OUR SOULS! SAVE OUR SOULS!"
CRIES THE MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION
WILL YOU ANSWER THOSE DISTRESS SIGNALS?
WILL YOU THROW OUT THE LIFEBOAT OF SAFETY?
WILL YOU PROCLAIM THE WORDS OF LIFE TO THE LOST AND DYING?
WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR VOICE TO BE GOD'S VOICE?
YOUR HANDS TO BE GOD'S HANDS?
YOUR FEET TO TAKE GOD TO A DESPERATE AND NEEDY WORLD
SOS! SOS! SOS!
CAN YOU HEAR PEOPLE CRYING OUT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? YOUR CITY? YOUR TOWN?

God's Blessings to You All,
