If you
walked into the grocery store |
Seeing a
mother so sad |
Who had
not enough money |
To feed
the child she had |
|
Would
you reach into your pocket? |
Or walk
away in haste |
Knowing
half the things you bought today |
Would
probably go to waste |
|
|
What
would you do?
Tell me, What would you do? |
|
|
If
strolling down the sidewalk |
You see
an elderly man |
Knowing
his legs can barely move |
He's
walking as fast as he can |
|
Having
proudly served his country |
Receiving this injury in the war |
And yet,
for You and I, |
He would
have given so much more |
|
Would
you help him cross the street, |
With the
gentleness of your hand? |
Or would
you walk on past him, |
as fast
as you can? |
|
|
What
would you do? |
Tell me,
What would you do? |
|
|
If
walking in the park one day |
You come
upon a child |
Knowing
they are handicapped, |
their
communication mild |
|
Would
you sit and talk with them, |
or share
a caring smile? |
Or would
you go about your way, |
With no
acknowledgement at all? |
|
|
What
would you do?
Tell me, What would you do? |
|
|
If
driving down the road one day |
You look
over to the side |
Seeing a
family in their car |
With the
hood open wide |
|
Would
you stop and ask them, |
If they
need help or a ride? |
Or would
you keep on going, |
Because
you would not take the time? |
|
What
would you do? |
Tell me,
What would you do? |
What do
you think, |
The Lord
would ask of you? |
