What Is the Answer
What a friend we have in Jesus
Words of a well known hymn
Do we realise what he gives us
We who try to live like him.
He has given us glorious sunsets
The bright awakening dawn
The fields so green and luscious
Rapeseed and ripening corn
Those who have these luxuries
Are we better than the rest
Better than the poor countries
Dried up pastures for their beasts
Why has he made the divide
What is the meaning of it all
We the lucky ones should be sending
Unending help when they call
Charity begins at home
Is the saying known that's true
Where lives are concerned
World wide help should follow through
Food and water are natures bread basket
Sun and rain fall into place
Fair for all should be the answer
Hope and help an important race.
Warring and fighting is not easy
Farmers and cattle are dying there
Bow your head and ask for answers
Take it to the Lord in prayer
