What Would You Do?

If you walked into the grocery store
Seeing a mother so sad
Who had not enough money
To feed the child she had
Would you reach into your pocket?
Or walk away in haste
Knowing half the things you bought today
Would probably go to waste
What would you do
Tell me, What would you do?

If strolling down the sidewalk
You see an elderly man
Knowing his legs can barely move
He's walking as fast as he can
Having proudly served his country
Receiving this injury in the war
And yet, for You and I,
He would have given so much more
Would you help him cross the street,
With the gentleness of your hand?
Or would you walk on past him, as fast as you can?
What would you do?
Tell me, What would you do?

If walking in the park one day
You come upon a child
Knowing they are handicapped, their communication mild
Would you sit and talk with them, or share a caring smile?
Or would you go about your way,
With no acknowledgement at all?
What would you do?
Tell me, What would you do?


If driving down the road one day
You look over to the side
Seeing a family in their car
With the hood open wide
Would you stop and ask them, If they need help or a ride?
Or would you keep on going,
Because you would not take the time?
What would you do?
Tell me, What would you do?
What do you think, The Lord would ask of you?
