This year, oh God
Please help us
Help us all to see
Beyond our own desires
To our neighbor’s poverty
And this year God, oh help us
To do more than simply say
‘I should do more’
But let this be
Our prayer in every day
…this year God
Oh, help us
To see far beyond our greed
And give us love, enough to care
About our neighbor’s need
And this year God oh let us
Never dare to be excused
Because of things
We want to buy
While a poor child is refused
Help us to remember
To do good
Lord, in Your name
For when it comes to hunger
Rich or poor, it feels the same

If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,"
but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? James 2:16
