Will we see Christ within the eyes
1Â Will we see Christ within the eyesÂ
of those enslaved by debt?Â
Will we commit ourselves to help,Â
ensuring needs are met?Â
For we are called to share his grace,Â
restoring dignity.Â
Will we remember Jesus lived
and died in poverty?Â
2 Will we defend the refugeeÂ
with nowhere else to turn?Â
Discern another’s plight, and makeÂ
their welfare our concern?Â
Will we speak peace to anxious heartsÂ
and hope to the reviled?Â
Will we remember Jesus fledÂ
to Egypt as a child?Â
3 Will we make space for all who doubt
and struggle to believe,
or listen to the anguished cries
as people mourn and grieve?
And will we comfort minds beset
by hurt or misery?
Will we remember Jesus spoke
and calmed the raging sea?
Â
4 Will we display compassion, likeÂ
the Good Samaritan,Â
who set aside all prejudiceÂ
to help a wounded man?Â
Dare we reflect Christ's perfect loveÂ
in all we say and do?Â
Will we remember, this is howÂ
we welcome Jesus too?
