Doing Justice – v7

Our lives, measured by our actions

by our works, our dealings

with our fellow man,

with our neighbors, even the others,

the stranger, our enemies,

did we do justice in our time

Were those hungry fed,

those thirsty given drink

did we set the captives free

of their chains, their burdens

whether we welcomed a stranger

and offered clothes to those in need

Our lives measured by our faith

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
