What Would Jesus Do?
By Lisa Noe

Would Jesus leave her there all alone
When withered by weather she needs a home
Just because she’s dirty and old
Her life is still worth more than gold

Be a friend and lend a hand
Don’t join in the evil band
Don’t push her aside
Look not away, do not hide

Show her kindness and give her love
Speak to her of the Father above
Let her know she is not truly alone
And on the streets she needs not roam

Visit her often as Jesus would do
Introduce her to a friend or two
Tell her to be not sad
For she was in a vision I had

The Lord came to me in a dream
And told me to help her, sight unseen
Take her by the neck and hug
Rescue her from this hole she’s dug

Hair unkept, dirt upon her face
Clothes in rags, but still find grace
Her luck ran bad for several years
Now it’s me God sends to wash the tears

I take her by the hand
And lead her through the crowded land
People starring at she and I
I tell her keep your held held high

To my home I take her fast
To find some clothes that will last
To clean herself and have some food
This is how God, for her, rescued

A good woman has she always been
So it’s written in my heart to let her stay in my den
Find place for those who suffering few
And ask, what Jesus would do?
