WHO SHALL WE HELP TODAY by John McLeod






WHO  SHALL  WE  HELP  TODAY

Poet: John McLeod, © 1982


Who shall we help today, my friends,
Who shall we help today ?
A poor-man passing in the road
A word to ease his way ?
A kindly thought, a friendly deed
A smile so freely given ?
These are the treasures all may give
These are the keys to heaven !




Who shall we help today, my friends,

Who shall we help today ?
A sad soul in distress perhaps ?
Kneel with that soul and pray;
Show him the love our Father showed
In the way His son was given:
These are the gifts all have to give,
These are the keys to heaven !



Who shall we help today, my friends,

Who shall we help today ?
The lame, the sick, all those in need ?
So much that one can say
And do to help another's pain
In love's compassion given,
Yours is the gift of giving, friend,
Yours are the keys to heaven !
