Poor Lazarus

Poor Lazarus is at your door in sorry state
Rise up and nurse his wounds

Look across your fence poor Lazarus is hungry
Open your wallet and give him what to eat

Poor Lazarus is at school gate with no fees
Go to your account and offer fees

Poor Lazarus is in hospital sick and helpless
Enter your car, go and give charity

Poor Lazarus in in the streets begging for charity
Stop your car and extend a helping hand

Poor Lazarus is in prison in agony
Take time to visit to console

Poor Lazarus is everywhere around you
Wake up and respond with practical love like Jesus

Yes, my friend, we should do whatever we can to appease the suffering of others in that way we please our Lord! God bless you!
