Shep­herds of Salvation

I would ask the same of any other

If they stood by and watched the help­less die.

Where is God when chil­dren hurt and suffer?

There are those who help their fel­low brother;

They do what’s right and never bat an eye.

I would ask the same of any other.

Some will pray and wait, then there’s Another—

Long­ing for a man­sion in the sky.

Where is God when chil­dren hurt and suffer?

Should they pray to rid the world of hunger

Or bet­ter lift a hand to feed a child?

I would ask the same of any other.

What are we to tell the bro­ken mother

Whose hun­gry child lies down to sleep at night?

Where is God when chil­dren hurt and suffer?

All in all we really have to won­der—

Could it be that God is just a Lie?

I would ask the same of any other.

Where is God when chil­dren hurt and suffer?
