Doing Justice


Our lives, measured by our actions
not what we said, what we did
did we do justice in our time
were those hungry fed,
those thirsty given drink
whether we welcomed a stranger
and offered clothes to those in need

Our lives measured by our faith
by what we claimed, our actions
our faith lived out in our lives
how we care for our neighbors
all our neighbors, wherever we may go
all our brothers, our sisters
helping them, all those in need
