When

When you cry with those who weep
And share the pain of those who suffer
When you give out of your need
To help a hurting child or homeless brother
When you welcome strangers into your home
And prepare hearty meals for growing boys and girls
When you sit alone beside a quiet telephone
Hoping to talk to distant family and friends
When you forgive all who hurt you
And confess your faults with sincere love inside
When you bask in today’s showers of blessings
Knowing God’s eraser removed all your past mistakes
When you have known sickness and discouragement
And those times that break the human heart
When it seems like nobody understands your needs
Remember your friend Jesus sees, he knows,
He loves you, he really cares, and
When you least expect it, that’s when he blesses you!
