William Murphy's song "Compassion" is a stirring gospel anthem that calls believers to embody the heart of God by showing compassion to others. The lyrics emphasize that compassion is the currency of the kingdom and the language of the Father, urging listeners to be His hands and voice in the world. The song reassures that what we do for others, God will do for us, and it reminds us that we are the light and salt of the earth, shining through us. It's a motivational call to action, blending worship with a social conscience.

Compassion is the currency of the kingdom
Compassion is the way the Lord moves
And God has a plan to use a man
All across the land
He needs your hand
To do what you can
To model...
Compassion, compassion (We need)
Compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion (We need to show)
Compassion, compassion (So give us)
Compassion is the language of our Father
Compassion is the way The Lord speaks
His Voice is clear, His presence near
He's here to meet your need
Through you and me
He wants us free
To model...
Compassion, compassion (We need)
Compassion, compassion (So give us)
Compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion
What you make happen for them
God will
He'll make it happen for you
God will
What you make happen for them
God will
He'll make it happen for you
God will
What you make happen for them
God will
He'll make it happen for you
He will
What you make happen for them
God will
He'll make it happen for you
We are the light of the world
We are the salt of the earth
We are the light of the world
Shine through us, shine through us
We are the light of the world
We are the salt of the earth
We are the light of the world
Shine through us, shine through us
We are the light of the world
We are the salt of the earth
We are the light of the world
Shine through us, shine through us
Shine through us, shine through us
Compassion, compassion (We need)
Compassion, compassion
