When We Feed the Hungry

This G-d in whose image we're created and whom we serve
And whom we're called to follow, and whose love we don't deserve...
He calls us His children when we follow His command
To go and preach His Gospel in each and every land.

We preach Him through our words, but even louder by our deeds,
When we as Christians minister, providing for others' needs.
We are the hands and feet of Him who died upon the Cross;
We are the face of Jesus to the sin-sick and the lost.

When we feed the hungry and give drink to them who thirst
And give shelter to the homeless and we treat the least as first,
Our Messiah will receive all the glory
Every time one more Believer lives His ministry.

We're told all through the Gospels in whose footsteps we should walk
The footsteps of a living God whose actions backed His talk
He said the greatest of all laws was “Love the Lord thy God.”
If we love our neighbor likewise, we'll see His approving nod.

The prophet Isaiah said what brings the Lord delight
Is when we choose to be devoted to the aid of those in plight
And James, the brother of our Lord, this message he did preach:
When we live the way the world does, we become G-D's enemies.

But when we feed the hungry and give drink to them who thirst
And give refuge to the homeless and we treat the least as first,
Our Messiah will receive all the glory
Every time one more Believer lives His ministry.
