Kind Word

Kind word

Lookin' for a kind word in a

dark world

under a mean spell

The golden rule is

you get what you give

So I'll wish you well

Make sure you have heard

a kind word

Kind word

I know it isn't much

but a blade of grass

can crack the pavement

And if enough of us

would go against the grain

in time we'd be a green field

dressed in God's own

finest raiment

soakin' up the sunshine

and laughing in the rain

I see the cardboard boxes,

the fragile houses of the lost

I see the endless line of crosses

carved by hands of hate and war

I see the broken children

fists of blinding rage

have tossed us

Can we start with just

this little thing

that may lead to something more?

They say a single prayer

can move a mountain

and I know a little faith

can turn the tide

The need to love

and to be loved

can soon become a fountain

that forms a river flowin'

deep and wide

What will it take to free us

from distant hearts

and downcast eyes

To see the face of Jesus

in a stranger on the street?

Who will water seeds of Holiness

In someone we've despised

Will heaven tell

ours were the words

that washed His hands and feet?
