If you
walked into the grocery store |
|
Seeing a
mother so sad |
|
Who had
not enough money |
|
To feed
the child she had |
| |
|
Would
you reach into your pocket? |
|
Or walk
away in haste |
|
Knowing
half the things you bought today |
|
Would
probably go to waste |
| |
| |
What
would you do?
Tell me, What would you do? |
| |
| |
|
If
strolling down the sidewalk |
|
You see
an elderly man |
|
Knowing
his legs can barely move |
|
He's
walking as fast as he can |
| |
|
Having
proudly served his country |
|
Receiving this injury in the war |
|
And yet,
for You and I, |
|
He would
have given so much more |
| |
|
Would
you help him cross the street, |
|
With the
gentleness of your hand? |
|
Or would
you walk on past him, |
|
as fast
as you can? |
| |
| |
|
What
would you do? |
|
Tell me,
What would you do? |
| |
| |
|
If
walking in the park one day |
|
You come
upon a child |
|
Knowing
they are handicapped, |
|
their
communication mild |
| |
|
Would
you sit and talk with them, |
|
or share
a caring smile? |
|
Or would
you go about your way, |
|
With no
acknowledgement at all? |
| |
| |
|
What
would you do?
Tell me, What would you do? |
| |
| |
|
If
driving down the road one day |
|
You look
over to the side |
|
Seeing a
family in their car |
|
With the
hood open wide |
| |
|
Would
you stop and ask them, |
|
If they
need help or a ride? |
|
Or would
you keep on going, |
|
Because
you would not take the time? |
| |
|
What
would you do? |
|
Tell me,
What would you do? |
|
What do
you think, |
|
The Lord
would ask of you? |
