My Own Backyard
So many countries in the world today
Places and people neglected and needy
Forgotten, mocked, and cast out.
Needing love and care: bring Jesus to them
We want to help. We share in their pain and suffering
Singing songs to the God who saves, provides and protects
Sharing and working together as a new family is made
This is good! Experience the joy it brings
But look too and do not forget!
Those in our own communities
Neglected and needy
Forgotten, mocked, and cast out.
They too need love and care and bring Jesus to them.
What can I do? How can I help?
Help those in my own backyard?
Volunteer an hour or two at a food pantry,
Serve lunch and talk to the people at a soup kitchen.
Bringing love and care: and Jesus to them.
Write letters or make packages to send to soldiers,
Or spend a few hours talking and visiting at a home for the elderly.
Make baskets with socks, blankets, and a jacket
And spend a day in the city handing them out in the winter months.
Bringing love and care: bringing Jesus to them.
Open a door for someone, whose arms are full,
Make dinners or gifts for a family in need at your church:
Bringing love and care and bringing Jesus to them
And to those in my own backyard!
God Bless!
