You and Me
- I see You in the addict,
I see You in the girl who ran away;
I see You in the damaged
Baby laid on rags and not on hay:
It isn't the face or form that help us see
You, but the power within me. - I see You in the magnate
When he gives His time and money to the poor;
I see You in the magistrate
Who would rather love than punish with the law:
It isn't words but actions that help us be
You, and the child I try to be. - Bring in the waifs and addicts,
Persuade the cruel exploiters of the weak;
Show courage in being gentle
And live the sacrifice of which we speak:
It isn't the outward words that help us give
For You, but the inner word we live.
