Why Do I Care

Why do I care if there is suffering in this town? It doesn't affect me Why do I care when there is a boy in the street that needs a home? Why do I care if I don't make a difference and all can go to hades? Why do I care? God cares because He heard the cry of his little one He cares that the boy can be clothed and fed He cares because He put them there and will do everything in His power to clothe them, feed them, school them And that is when we come in We are His hands and feet and mouth Sent them feed them clothe them Taking care of them Who needs a hand? If you don't, you can put yours down But God does He needs you and me If you don't go, help would come from other places as in the Book of Esther Yeah but you would pay As God did not call you for nothing "for such a time as this" Let you go Find your causes Make your own believing But you can't run There will come a time when you say "I'm coming home" as the prodigal son says Then you know you are home For now wander Wander in the darkness Wander till you find the light Trying Looking Until you yield The answer is right there looking at you in the face of a little boy Lost and scared With no one to turn Just like you Wouldn't you reach out? I meant God Yeah you would be like God to them in the face of a little boy - yours Scared
