What Would Jesus Do - Song Lyric

Verse: 1

There are hungry children crying,
every minute of the day.
Not listening is denying,
just pretend all children play.
Their pain is something you can’t know,
unless you’ve worn their shoes…
And then you’d
have to walk a mile or two…
But for God’s grace,
it’s them instead of you…
So ask yourself,
‘What would Jesus do?’

Verse: 2

Your food is on the table,
your home is safe and warm.
You’re body’s strong and able,
to weather every storm.
Look inside your heart and know,
you are among the few…
God has blessed your life
with skies of blue…
Think of those
less fortunate than you…
And ask yourself,
‘What would Jesus do?’

Chorus: 

What would Jesus do?
He’d help the needy.
What would Jesus do?
He’d feed the poor.
What would Jesus do?
He’d speak of love and peace,
When someone tried to
start another war.
Knowing what God’s children
need from you,
Ask yourself,
‘What would Jesus do?’
 
Verse: 3

As walls built of steel and mortar,
come crashing to the ground.
Where the world will seek new order,
less freedom will be found.
So knowing what you know now,
it all begins with you…
To try and always make
the right things true…
Just look at what the world
is going through…
Now ask yourself,
‘What would Jesus do?’

Repeat Chorus And Fade...

Hello again John... this one was actually written as a song... two verses... a chorus and ... a verse... I struggle with the writing of music... and so I sing melodies into my recorder... LOL... this one has a country flavor... but I'm the only one singing it... LOL... but it counts as a lyric poem... so I posted it here... we should all go to God... and may he continue to bless you... JVD

Hi Jane, I really liked how you took a phrase "What would Jesus do?" and put it into context. I've also thought how rich and blessed we are compared to most people in the world who struggle to survive. "Not listening is denying/pretend all children play" is a powerful line, gives all of us accountability! Jim

Thank you for understanding that this is a question so often asked... but seldom answered... if only more people would look for the answers... God bless you
