Of us, it has been required to walk a mile or two
Not by ourselves, but with Him and with you
There is beauty in serving our fellow man
To do everything possible for them, if we can

From our coat  
To our raiment
Though we give but one copper penny
For our sacrifices, our blessings will be many

Often we look far and wide
But those in the greatest need are often right by our side
No soul is to be left behind
I'm sure that Christ also has this goal in mind

I will give all to know thee
As I watched Christ place a child upon his knee
I stumble to my feet
From His baskets of fish and bread did I eat

With my eyes downcast
This beautiful memory of Him will forever last
My burden He took from me
Still, this life is not for free

I look upwards towards heaven
His love for me has He proven
Now I must continue my quest
Lord, I'll give it my all, yes even my very best

Within that mile have I found
The gentleness in the sound
Of His quiet, loving voice
He came to this world to give me free choice

I know not why He did all this for me
Lord, I am not even worthy of sitting next to thee
A Samaritan who showed me the path
My wounds thou didst bind, a debt which would soon amass

I see thy hand in my everyday life
As thou didst journey with me, I felt so alive
Lord, where wouldst thou have me go?
The wounds in thy hands and feet, me thou didst show

As thou didst walk a mile or two with me
My Lord, I didst not recognize thee
But within that mile, I learned that I too must do the same
For I am to give aid to all that are lame

Lord, my feet are weary
But I'll continue on, for I now see thy plan so clearly
I'll continue to raise the sufferer up
For tonight with you I'll sup

Though I am but a simple soul
My help thou didst enroll
I will seek to do Thy bidding
As I rise each and every morning
