In Their Shoes
Written by: Chris Williams

I must confess
This world is a mess
We have beggars on the street
Who have nothing to eat
And you just walk on by
You don't even say hi
That one little phrase
Could make his day
You're so rich it isn't funny
So why even give him money
Put yourself in his shoes
Then maybe you'd by him food

You give people grief
About what they believe
Shouldn't matter if you're a Jew
Christian, Muslim, or a Hindu
I think it's really odd
For one who believes in God
And His amazing grace
To be so full of hate
I doubt you're heaven bound
You should turn your life around
Put yourself in their shoes
Then you'll change your attitude
