~How Much Do You Care ~
I CAME UPON A MAN ONE DAY
WHILE STROLLING ALONG THE ROAD,
HIS FACE LOOKED TIRED AND WRINKLED
AS IF HE CARRIED A HEAVY LOAD
I PAUSED FOR A MOMENT,TO SAY HELLO
I NOTICED A TEAR,IN HIS EYE,
I ASKED HIM WHAT HIS PROBLEM WAS
HE LOOKED AT ME SURPRISED.
WHY ARE YOU ASKING?CAME HIS REPLY
PLEASE DONT PRETEND YOU CARE,
I AM A BEGGER THAT LIVES ON THE STREET
I DRIFT FROM HERE TO THERE.
HE HUNG HIS HEAD,AND SADLY SPOKE
I USE TO HAVE IT ALL
BUT NOW I AM LEFT WITH NOTHING
ONLY HEARTACHES FROM THE FALL.
YOU SEE MY CHILD! I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL
AND NOW I AM ALL ALONE,
THIS CARCBOARD BOX YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS WHAT I CALL MY HOME.
DONT BE SAD AND PITY ME
I HAD IT ALL ONE TIME
BUT GREED GOT THE BEST OF ME
AND NOW ITS LEFT BEHIND
I SHOOK MY HEAD,AND STROLLED ALONG
I THOUGHT ABOUT HIS LOST
MY MIND WENT BACK TO ANOTHER MAN
WHO DIED UPON THE CROSS.
I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK
TO TELL THE SAD OLD MAN,
I KNEW SOMEONE,WHO CARED ENOUGH
AND HE WOULD UNDERSTAND.
HE LISTEN AS I TOLD HIM
THE STORY OF THE CROSS
HIS HEART BEGAN TO SOFTEN
FROM THE EMPTY YEARS HE LOST
WE BOWED OUR HEADS TOGETHER
I TOOK HIS HAND IN MINE,
I KNEW AT LAST HE WAS NOT ALONE
FOR JESUS HE DID FIND.
AS I SAID GOOD BYE I NOTICE HIM
HIS FACE HAD A RADIENT GLOW
THANK YOU CHILD,FOR TAKING THE TIME
FOR A MAN WHO IS WEARY AND OLD.
AS I STROLLED ALONG THE ROAD AGAIN
I LOOKED UP IN THE SKY,
THANK YOU LORD,I SAID ALOUD!!!
FOR SENDING ME THIS GUY.
