What would Jesus do
Verse
Why am I on the news?
This ain’t no big deal.
What’s all the fuss about
Buying a man a meal?
Saw a man freezing cold
Gave him my overcoat.
Gave a blind man a ride
So he could cast his vote.
Pre chorus
This isn’t your big story.
The stories on the street.
Too many homeless people
With not enough to eat.
Chorus
I’m one man not army
But you can help me too.
Just ask yourself the question.
What would Jesus do?
Verse
Why put me on the news
For doing a good deed?
Why do you find it odd ?
I helped a man in need?
Saw a man out of work
Told him a place to go.
They gave him food and a bed
A temporary home.
Pre chorus
This isn’t your big story.
The stories on the street.
Too many homeless people
With not enough to eat.
Chorus
I’m one man not army
But you can help me too.
Just ask yourself the question.
What would Jesus do?
Bridge
It’s no great imposition
To help someone in need.
Might put me in good graces
When god looks down on me.

I really like the news angle! It got me thinking, what about a "holy crap, what's going on" story? Like, what if the headline was "Putin donates flower pots made from nuclear warheads to Iran" or "Clinton and Obama tour buses both explode in a firey crash at the bottom of the Grand Canyon".... 🙂

I really like this, Carroll. It's down-to-earth and not at all preachy. The message is a great one, simply told with strong imagery and very relatable. It has your usual easy, natural flow to it. I think people would like to hear this. Kudos.
I have absolutely no idea where the man in the hat is going with his Putin flower pots and Clinton conflagration LOL.
I may or may not be an enigma

Great subject. These lyrics totally remind me of an incident in 2017 where a clearly doped up, mentally unwell person came up my drive asking me to help her get home. I bundled her in the car and drove her where she needed to be. When I told some friends, they thought I was absolutely nuts. One of these naysayers was a pastor -- said he'd never have done that, but would have waved her on her doped up way. Said I shouldn't have exposed myself in that way. Couldn't believe their lack of empathy. Couldn't believe their apathy. These lyrics reminded me of that.
One correction:
This isn’t your big story.
The story's on the street.
Too many homeless people
With not enough to eat.
