PLEA

We’re in a world so busy

People running everywhere.

Forever looking at our watches

Our minds racing with cares.

We never see that lonely man

Sitting on the street.

We don’t even notice that hungry lady

Struggling in the heat.

Children so needy

Filled with despair.

An old grandma rocking sadly

And no one cares.

We must remember

Jesus left us with a plea…

“You did unto the least of these

my brother, you did it unto me.”

So what about you?

What about me?

What about the lonely man

Sitting on the street?

Will you reach out

Without a shadow of doubt?

Will you love the least of these

And fulfill Jesus’ plea?

A smile for the lonely man sitting on the street.

A bit of food for the hungry lady struggling in the heat.

A hug for the children so full of despair.

A cheery voice for the old Grandma in the rocking chair.

This seems so simple

Such an easy thing to do.

Let’s reach out for the least of these

And for Jesus too.
