Ragged Man
- A ragged man steps down the street
- with blurry eyes on two sore feet
- the bottle in his hand is his only friend
- he sifts the garbage for enough to eat
- he sifts the garbage for enough to eat
- I have so many things to do today
- I'd love to help him if I had the time
- but I'm running late and must be on my way
- Jesus' words they come back to me
- I have come that the blind might see
- why call me Lord and not do what I say
- for where your treasure is
- there your heart will be
- if you love me then you'll love one another
- freely you've received so freely give
- you can't love me and ignore your brother
- for I have come that all might live
- I meet people here and there who don't
- know God and who don't really care
- if I've found true life and the only way
- then with all the world I'd want to share
- but somehow I always feel ashamed
- I play the Christian and I play the game
- start out on my Christian walk
- and every time I come up lame
- Jesus' words they come back to me
- I have come that the blind might see
- why call me Lord and not do what I say
- for where your treasure is
- there your heart will be
- if you love me then you'll love one another
- freely you've received so freely give
- you can't love me and ignore your brother
- for I have come that all might live
- a baby looks into his mother's eyes he
- can feel the pain and he can see her cry
- there's not enough for him to eat
- she knows that soon he is going to die
- but it's time for supper and I can't be late
- is it divine or a trick of fate
- as millions die in a hungry world
- I still need to lose some weight
- Jesus' words they come back to me
- I have come that the blind might see
- why call me Lord and not do what I say
- for where your treasure is
- there your heart will be
- if you love me then you'll love one another
- freely you've received so freely give
- you can't love me and ignore your brother
- for I have come that all might live
- we sing praises unto His name
- then we walk through the door and we act the same
- content with the life that we have known
- in a hopeless world we have no shame
- we're offered life where grace abounds
- but we cling to our things and we turn it down
- we love the things that our hands have made
- and never realize what we have found
- Jesus' words they come back to me
- I have come that the blind might see
- why call me Lord and not do what I say
- for where your treasure is
- there your heart will be
- if you love me then you'll love one another
- freely you've received so freely give
- you can't love me and ignore your brother
- for I have come that all might live
