I Couldn’t Close My Eyes

I couldn’t close my eyes,
At those who stood at my door,
I knew that they were hungry,
So cold and oh so poor.

I couldn’t turn my back on them,
I just couldn’t turn away,
For I knew that deep within my heart,
The Lord sent them today.

He knew that I had food to share,
And clothes for them to wear,
He knew I couldn’t turn my back,
He knew how much I’d care.

He knew that it was cold outside,
That I had warmth inside,
That’s why the Lord sent them to me,
He was their greatest guide.

I couldn’t close my eyes,
For what I saw that day,
I shared my food and love with them,
Before I sent them on their way.

No one really knows,
Who in that body lives,
It could be God Himself,
So from your heart please give.

He could be there just testing you,
To see what love you have,
So give what you can to those,
Who are less fortunate and sad.
