My child, I've often heard you question:
This message is my answer.
You're concerned about the hungry in the world,
Millions who are starving ... and you ask,
"What can I do?" FEED ONE!
You're haunted by the homeless poor who
wander city streets ... and you ask:
"What can I do?" SHELTER ONE!
You feel compassion for those who suffer pain,
sorrow and despair ... and you ask:
"What can I do?" COMFORT ONE!
Your heart goes out to the lonely, the abused,
and the imprisoned ... and you ask:
"What can I do?" LOVE ONE!
Remember this, my child ... two thousand years
ago the world was filled with those in need,
just as it is today, and when the
helpless and the hopeless
called out to me for mercy,
I sent a saviour ...
HOPE BEGAN WITH ONLY ONE.
