Most of us have plenty
in this land where we dwell,
many things to hold,
to see, taste and smell.
But in many other lands
which we are not far from, here,
the people there do hunger
and mostly live in fear.
Because life over there is cheap
and food and water scarce,
struggling is the daily norm
It's an awful sad place.
No medicine to heal them
or clothes for them to keep warm,
some without homes for them to dwell in
to shelter from the storm.
Many children there are orphans
whose parents have been killed,
by famine, AIDS and violence
and governments who will
Oppress them and withold
the care that they do need,
to most of them it's all about money,
selfishness, power and greed.
So may God in His kindness
always help us to share,
the things that we do have
to show that we care.
For we came into this world with nothing
and take nothing when we leave,
so my heart is thankful to the Lord
for giving me the grace to believe.
In Jesus Christ, His cherished Son
who suffered on that cross for me,
it cost Him dearly His precious blood
to set us all free.
