Lord,
I’ve got some doing to do
A little bit of this and a
little bit of that
Want just to do it and cause no
spat
And I want my doing to be
done toward you.
Lord,
You are the witness who watches day
and night
Knowing when I’m asleep or when I’m
doing right
You see into the heart right past my
explanations
You cut through my red tape and see my
machinations.
Lord,
This world needs some doing
And it needs that doing now
The wicked keep on growing stronger
Don’t think we can wait a whole lot longer.
Lord,
Some people are just kicked to the
curb
Or ignored in the midst of the crowd
Is it the wrong country of origin or
the color of skin
Or is it about my blindness that
keeps me from making amends.
Lord,
Who will die while I sit and pray
Whose mama longs and yearns for a
brighter day
For someone to touch her daughter over
there with a smile
To say to that old guy, let’s just
sit here for just a while.
Lord,
People like me need hope
We want to know there’s a plan
That we are not left out here alone
Device our schemes in the ever shifting
sand.
Lord,
People out there are dying
I hear a lot of folks crying
They are languishing in the dust
They want to know what’s just.
Lord,
Folks make a joke and poke fun here
and there
That person’s
torment and that human’s history
That
kid’s speech and that woman’s hair
I’m on
the inside and silence worsens the misery.
Lord,
Me and my people are all rather small
Some of us can just barely crawl
Our faith is real and put into your
hand
Renew our hope, and beside you we’ll
stand.
Lord,
Our hope is in you
And some still have these really big
dreams
Must they be deferred, too
Midst those cries, those screams.
Lord,
Save us from our prejudices
Amaze us at how we can empathize
Keep us from going over the precipice
Show us what we can all realize.
Yes, Lord,
I’ve got
some doing to do
A little
bit of this and a little bit of that
Want
just to do it and cause no spat
And I
want my doing to be done toward you.
Amen
