the needy and the oppressed
the needy and the oppressed
by Joel Howard
O the poor
the needy
orphaned and abandoned
the marginalized
tears in their eyes
with tears in their eyes
with tears perpetually in their faces
O the needy
the oppressed
horrors they live
cannot get dressed
cold, cold, cold
unkept
holy God hear their cries
holy God hear their cries
Their cries come into your eyes
O the wicked
who see all this
and do nothing
Go get them God
Go get the wicked
The wicked who birth wickedness
Before they can even rest
O Son of Man
you came for them
So come for them again
And make me a man
In the land
Who in his hands
Feeds the poor
Clothes the naked
Gives them more
Out of the comfort store
You gave unto me in Christ
You give unto us in Christ
