Consider this guy I saw the other day
Downtown early morning he stopped me and said
Could you spare some change or maybe even a buck
He scribbled “Jesus Loves You!” on a cardboard box
I looked him over quickly just so see if he was worthy
But he was dirty, he was dingy and he’d had a few too many
So I turned away and I walked on by
I was headed to Mickey D’s for coffee and an apple pie
But I couldn’t get him out of my mind
“When you’re doing it to the least of these
You’re doing it to me,” kept creepin’ up in the back of my mind ya see
I forgot to be Jesus; I had missed an opportunity
I turned around to go back and be the man I know I should be
When I got back to the corner where I knew the guy was standin’
He was already gone, he disappeared without a warnin’
The only thing left was a “Jesus Loves You!” sign and
The dot on the exclamation point was covered with a dime
