Brother

Standing by, I watch my brother;
what will his life be?
I have it made.  I know success.
Will I move at what I see?
He does his best to make ends meet,
yet, truly, does he lack.
Will I step in and help him out,
or will I turn my back?

Standing by, I watch my brother;
what will his life be?
This land and lifestyle is so foreign;
he's foreign unto me!
His appearance minds me of
those people on the news!
Dare I get to know this man?
Dare I ask his views?

Standing by is pointless!
I MUST extend my hand!
If I'm not Jesus unto him
he'll never understand!
He may receive my offering...
he may think I'm the worst...
but he will never know unless
I reach out to him first!

How far away is your brother?  Who is your brother?  Jesus settled that!
Don't just stand there!
