(vs. 1)
poverty
is so hard to see
when it’s only on your tv and twenty miles across town
where we’re all living so good
that we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood
where he’s hungry and not feeling so good
from going through our trash
he says, more than just your cash and coin
i want your time, i want your voice
i want the things you just can’t give me
(vs. 2)
so what must we do
here in the west we want to follow you
we speak the language and we keep all the rules
even a few we made up
come on and follow me
but sell your house, sell your suv
sell your stocks, sell your security
and give it to the poor
what is this, hey what’s the deal
i don’t sleep around and i don’t steal
i want the things you just can’t give me
(bridge)
because what you do to the least of these
my brother’s, you have done it to me
because i want the things you just can’t give me

You know this song sounds familiar. It seems like only a wise person can find songs like these. Good for you. You must know the right people.

ps yes I am being cocky
Oh Pat, you are SOOOOO funny.....(note sarcasm) haha
Derek Webb is so good - and so generous and full of integrity (practicing what he preaches...or sings.) to let us have the album, including that song, for free. What a great song! What a great guy!
The question is not "Were we challenged?" but rather, "Were we changed?"
