You Don't Even See Me Cry

Family Camp

I stand on an empty corner

My cup is empty, my well is dry

Reaching out my hand to you

But you walk by, you walk by

You don't even see me cry.

I shiver and shake in winter's winds

My filthy rags barely cover my skin

Reaching out my hand to you

But you walk by, you walk by

You don't even see me cry.

I was thirsty in a thirsty land!

And no water you gave to me

I was naked in a season of loss

And no raiment was laid on me.

But you walked by, you walked by

You didn't even see me cry.

I hid in a darkened alley

Searching meals from dirty bins

Reaching out my hand to you

But you walked by, you walked by

You didn't even see me cry.

I'm chained in a dark, cold prison

Hope and faith don't recognize me

Reaching out my hand to you

But you walk by, you walk by

You don't even see me cry.

I was hungry in a blanket of waste!

And no sustenance was given me.

I was behind iron bars and stone!

Yet no freedom was offered me.

My name is Savior!

Saving even the least of these.

My name is Fountain of Living Water

Quenching thirst for righteousness.

My name is Holy Father, Creator

I cover you with My blood.

My name is Bread of Life, and Manna

Multiplied to satisfy hunger

For more of Me

For more of Me

My name is Jesus! Redeemer!

Releasing you from your sins.

All you have to do

Is reach out your hand

to Me.

But you walk by, you walk by

You don't even see Me cry.........
