In this life every day presents a struggle,
Mouths to feed, bills to pay
Driving home, cars in the way
We think we’re alright
Because our money’s not tight
We aren’t one of “those”
Who need people like us- with the resources you know
our actions say “ill give some away”
Cuz that’s the Christian way
Not paying any attention
To our soul’s retention
But where’s the sacrifice
Did you even pay a price
When you discard what you don’t need
To a person who needs to believe
That there is hope
And you are there
You’ll give your time
And you sincerely care
About their well being
Not just the physical things
Because you see sometimes we need more
Than those we think are poor
Your need is hidden inside your status
You define your worth with class
But one day it will shatter like a piece of glass
To a million pieces
Because that’s not the heart of Jesus
To climb a social ladder
That doesn’t even matter
Let’s share our burdens with one another
Not just our stuff, its really just clutter
That stands in the way
Of our deep need to communicate
That we are hurt and afraid
Can we ditch the masquerade
And come face to face
With our sisters and our brothers
There’s no need to cover
Because we all have needs
Some are obvious some unseen
No fear in love- we give and take
Let’s be the body for the kingdom’s sake
