What If .​.​.

from The Heavens Declare by Gord Lang

lyrics

What if all you had to eat today was a piece of broiled fish
It was set before your hungry eyes in a dirty metal dish
But you felt so blessed as you thought about your friend just down the street
Knowing he would think such meagre fare was an early birthday treat

Would you still believe there was any truth to the story you were told
Of the One who fed five thousand men - where no food was ever sold


What if you’d seen Mom and Dad be killed when the bad men came that day
They had burned your house with fire before they took the rest away
And all you had were your siblings now and they were yours to feed
And to give them all the other things that the little children need

Would you still believe in a God of love who protects you every day
Who especially loves the children – and He won’t turn them away


What if sickness plagued your body after all they tried to do
And they told you there was nothing else they could do to comfort you
So even Mom and Dad were scared to ever venture near
It was all so disappointing from the ones you held so dear

Would you still believe in the One who healed the sick with a single word
Life seemed so contradictory - to the things that you had heard

Lord we don’t have all the answers to the questions that remain
Teach us how to love the children – how to help them in their pain
(Lord we want to love the children – and to help them in their pain)
