I was a representative from the company I work for to our local/regional Anti-Human Trafficking organization. I heard the stories of several women who had come out of being trafficked, and thought there should be a Christian song to bring awareness to this terrible scourge. I wrote the lyric and John Rowsey wrote the melody.

Calling the Lonely and Lost
Vs 1
Another day, another dollar ---- she is sent out to work the street.
Doesn’t matter what you call her ---- she goes with any man she meets.
Though back in school she was a scholar ---- she barely has enough to eat.
Vs 2
She spends most every night despairing over the living hell she’s in
Questions if she can keep bearing the shame and grief that never ends.
Or if her life is worth repairing, is there forgiveness for her sins?
Chorus
Calling the lonely and lost ---- those from whom peace has departed.
The ones with broken dreams -- failed plans and schemes,
Who the world has discarded.
There's no need to fear, grace has appeared.
Jesus has paid the cost, and there’s good news today,
Because He’s calling the lonely and lost
Vs 3
Now she is finally on the right track ---- her life is slowly on the mend.
She and her family can be found at ---- that little church where they attend.
And is determined not to look back ---- now that she’s where new life begins.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
When they reach the end of their rope
People need to know there is hope.
Chorus
