How Can We...?

I want to share a poem that was written by Paul Sweet, a friend that we met in Maple Ridge, BC. He has an amazing story of how God saved him from substance abuse, and a life of violence. He got saved while in jail, and has such a heart for God now. Truly a light in this dark world.

"How Can We...?"
How can we walk amon the wounded
And not lend a helping hand,
How do we face injustice
And dare not take a stand.

How can we hear the voices screaming
And not listen with an open ear,
How do we feel their hearts weeping
And ourselvs not she a tear.

How do we see the pain and suffering
And then walk away,
How do we knowthat we are needed
And choose not to stay.

How do we see fear running rampant
And still study war in our heart,
How do we see a world around us crumbling
And not rise up to do our part.

How do we see a hungry child
And refuse to give a dime,
How do we say it's not our problem
And not consider that that's a crime!

How do we sleep while others are homeless
And not toss and trun in shame.
How do we live our lives in abundance
And say "God bless you, in Jesus' name".

Paul G. Sweet
