The Poor Kid Down the Street

[PoorKid.mp3] (very rough demo version)

THE POOR KID DOWN THE STREET

A little boy knocked on our door
With a hungry look on his face
Mother said if we served him
It would keep us in God's grace

For someday you may have to stand
Before God's great judgment seat
And what if you never lent a hand
To the poor kid down the street

We didn't have plenty back then
There was always enough to eat
Mother saved a can of soup
For the poor kid down the street

Someday you may have to stand..

The world's one big neighborhood
Full of nations — rich and poor
When it comes to the greater good
Which one has offered up more

For the nations will be assembled
Before God's great judgment seat
And the shepard will separate them
As he does the goats from the sheep
