Hear the Word

Lyric to tune of “Feed The Birds” from Mary Poppins On this cold day, in the poor city slums the sad, homeless families dwell from the churches and missions the compassionate come bearing good tidings to tell. Come hear the truth they share how Jesus cares with food and clothes for the young— —their eyes are so lonely their pain is so clear let them show His Love from above. Hear the Word, God loves us so listen, listen, He wants us to know Hear the Word, Jesus has come saved us, saved us, from sin’s dark bonds. All the angels are singing the glories of heaven and hope for a brighter life— —with visions of splendor and strength for tomorrow all seen by the Savior’s eyes. Though the Light seems far, far away hasten, hasten, He’s coming someday Hear the Word, Jesus has come saved us, saved us, from sin’s dark bonds. 12/1/2021

Laura, like Michelle mentioned, your lyrics are so consistent with the original theme of this tender song of compassion towards the disenfranchised and marginalized of society. Your musical side really shines with your carefully chosen words and how well they match with the rhythm and flow of the tune. I love the additional aspect of the love and compassion of the Lord towards the poor and unfortunate. Beautifully rendered, and a deserving win! Congrats and hugs ~ John

This is so moving, an excellent match for the tune, it is also a touching connection between feeding the birds and feeding the lost and destitute, a message we should all hear, especially at the holidays~
