Distressing Disguise

Distressing Disguise

He is in the pain
He is in the need
He is in the poor
We are told to heed
Though He was rich for us
He became poor
How could He give so much;
What was it for?

In his distressing disguise
He waits for us to surmise
That we rob our brothers by all that we own
and that's not the way he has shown

Every time a faithful servant serves a brother that's in need
What happens at that moment is a miracle indeed
As they look to one another in an instant it is clear
Only Jesus is visible for they've both disappeared
His is the hand that reaches out to give
His is the touch that causes men to live
So speak with your life now are as well as your tongue
Shelter the homeless take care of the young
In his distressing disguise he hopes there we'll realise
That when he takes care of the poorest of them
We've really done it to Him
