Representative Text

1 Helping the widows and orphans in their need,
Healing the sick ones and binding hearts that bleed;
Feeding the hungry concerns the Lord above,
By this we serve Him and demonstrate His love.

Chorus:
Cups of cold water giv’n in Jesus’ name,
Cups of cold water are never giv’n in vain;
Someday in heaven, when we meet the Lord,
Each deed of kindness will bring a rich reward.

2 Sharing the gospel with sinners gone astray,
Holding the light up so they can find the way;
Lifting the fallen - this we must surely do,
If to our calling as Christians we are true. [Refrain]
