There's Hate (Where There Should Be Love)
The Cypress Times ^ | 8/17/09 | Clarence "Sonny" White

They found him dead one morning

Just a bum from off the street

Tattered clothes upon his shoulders

Ragged shoes upon his feet

This poignant poem is a reminder that we need to care for the "least of these" in society, and that we might actually learn from them in the process.

Amen, so long as it is VOLUNTARY! When government demands it it is not charity but robbery.

What if Jesus Comes Back Like That
Lyrics, Collin Raye

He came to town on an old freight train
He jumped off in the pouring rain
Everybody said he’s insane
Just a low down no account hobo

He made his bed beneath the county bridge
The city folks said hey that’s not his
They signed a petition they’re gonna get rid
Of that low down no account white trash

What if Jesus comes back like that
On an old freight train in a hobo hat
Will we let him in or turn our back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that

She was born into drug abuse
She couldn’t help what her mama used
It wasn’t like she got to choose
Now she’s layin’ there all alone

Got a monkey on her back
Nurses say they never saw a smile like that
Doctor says she might stand a chance
If somebody takes her home

What if Jesus comes back like that
Two months early and hooked on crack
Will we let him in or turn our back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that

Nobody said life is fair
We’ve all got a cross to bear
When it gets a little hard to care
Just think about him hanging there

He came to town on a cold dark night
A single star was his only light
The baby born that silent night
A manger for his bed

What if Jesus comes back like that
Where will he find our hearts are at
Will he let us in or turn his back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Will he cry when he sees where our hearts are at
Will he let us in or turn his back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that

Smelly Bum, Smelly Bum,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Bum, Smelly Bum
It’s not your fault

Hickory dickory dock
That bum, he smells like old sock
Plus he's reeking of booze,
and won't wake from his snooze;
Let's dump his body down by the dock.

Oh wait, I can't rhyme "dock" with itself. Never mind.
