Didn't He

Too many hearts

On too many strings

We could cut them down

But instead we let them hang in the breeze

Oh my brother tell me why

And why is my sister down on her knees

Crying out won't somebody help me

And where are we

(chorus)

Didn't He love them

Didn't He hold out His hand

Wasn't Jesus a model

An example to man

Of how we must love everyone in this land

And give till it hurts

Isn't that part of the plan

But we can't see through our religious charade

To take what He's given

And give love away

One more night

No place to call home

A torn-up jacket on his back

It's getting pretty cold

Where do I stand

Do I reach out my hand

And one more child's face

An my TV screen

She's dying of hunger

Shy can't we meet her need

And where are we

(chorus)

But we can't see through our holy facade

To do the one thing that we're called to by God

Didn't He love us

Didn't He hold out His hand

Wasn't Jesus a model

An example to man

He said love every person

Everyone in this land

To give till it hurts

Wasn't that part of the plan

But we've all been blinded

By our selfish ways

Can we change this pattern

Will we stay the same

(chorus 2x)

Didn't He love them
