Story Behind The Song
The song was inspired by the hypocrisy the Lord opened my eyes to in many churches today. Although this song is not my favorite, the Lord speaks to my heart that this is His favorite. This song also gets the most compliments when performed in churches.
Song Description
The Lord has spoken to me in this song. He wants this song to be played in churches around the world. This song was not my idea. I am just trying to be obedient to God.

Lyrics
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be a Christian and show compassion?
Do you have to be humbled before you answer?
There's homeless in the street.
Barely enough to eat.
The working poor is among us all.
What do we do when they call?
What would Jesus say today?
What did Jesus say today,
when the poor ask for your shirt?
When people come to you that hurt?
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la
What does it mean to be a Christian and show compassion?
Do you have to be humbled before you answer?
What does it mean to be a Christian and show compassion?
Do you have to be humbled before you answer?
God is there for you.
Be there for them.
