Verse 1

When you look into her eyes, what do you see?

When you look into her face, do you see me there?

When you see her smile, do you see that she is happy?

When you hear her laugh, what do you hear?

 Do you know now why you have come?

Chorus

 Is it not to share your food with the hungry, to provide shelter for the homeless?

When you see the naked, to clothe him, to not turn away?

This is why you’re here, this is why you’ve come, this is why I’ve sent you!

Verse 2

When she reaches for your hand and takes it, what do you feel? When she plays and runs can you see that she is poor?

When you look around as she guides you through her village,

do you know now why you have come?
