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
