If God Were one Of Us

Do you remember that stranger on the street
That begged you for food as he knelt at your feet
Do you remember that lady who you knew needed some help
But you refused despite the sorrow you knew she felt

What if God were one of us
That stranger on the street corner, who his child in need of help he wanted to trust
What if it were God who placed that lady there as a test
To see if YOU HIS child would, as taught, help and assist the rest

Do you know that family around the way
The family you see that needs some clothing  so in good health they may stay
And do you remember all those bags of clothes you had tucked away
You thought youde keep them ALL for that rainy day

What if God were one of us
The overseer of that family from around the way,
Calling a patron saint like YOU to help them along their way
Would you avoid or would NO be the words that from your mouth you would say?

Opportunities.. to be blessed through the spirit of giving
Surely none can compare
We are gifted and with those gifts God has given us to share
Imagine you in their shoes and the pain you would bare

If God were One of us
For sure he would see you through
He would send a rescuer to help you while your goin through
You would pray for deliverance, Im sure is what you would do

What if God were one of us
That man at the corner waiting for the bus
That lady in the grocery store needing food and how YOU would be blessed
If only you gave of self, how your worthy of Gods redeeming grace and help the rest

And when you hear that knock at your door
And a tatered clothed stranger you see there
Will you provide him or her food or stand there scared
For you could be providing God with nourishment along his way, by helping someone else many blessings will come your way.

God is one of us, perhaps the man that watches as we depart the church each Sunday
Whatching and expecting a hello or a how are you from Gods family
There is nothing wrong with being charitable you see,
showing love for all to see
HE could be sittin there right beside you in that pew
God is one of us.. watching how we love trust Me You!!!
