The Least Of These
I posted the following song on my blog a year ago. Apart of being incarnational is often caring for those we would consider "The Least Of These" That is the title of Michael Wallace's song.
I’ve Seen Innocent Eyes
Cry Innocent Tears
They did not deserve their hunger
They did not earn their fears
I’ve seen single mothers
Struggle to leave the past
Trying to balance children
With jobs that will never last
And I’ve seen their hope disappear
And I’ve seen their eyes filled with fear
But I’ve walked right by
With my hands in my pockets
And my head down to the ground
Cuz they don’t’ look like I do
And they don’t talk like I do
And they don’t act like I do
They sure don’t smell like I do
You see I have not done unto the least of these
And so I have not done unto you
I’ve seen prostitution
Spilled out into the streets
They’re willing to sell their bodies
For anything to eat
I’ve seen an alcoholic
Fall down upon his face
No better than this self-righteous Christian
In the freedom of God’s Grace
And I’ve seen their hope disappear
And I’ve seen their eyes filled with fear
But I’ve walked right by
With my hands in my pockets
And my head down to the ground
Cuz they don’t’ look like I do
And they don’t act like I do
And they don’t talk like I do
They sure as hell don’t smell like I do
You see I have not done unto the least of these
And so I have not done unto you
