Heaven’s Sake

Would you walk another mile to turn a frown with a smile
Would you lift the lowly heart about to break
Would you also give your cloak to the one who took your coat
What on Earth would you do for heaven’s sake?

Did you feed the poor in spirit, befriend the prosecuted
Will you show the bounds that all the chains can break
Would you sow the proper seed and keep out the weeds
What on Earth would you do for heaven’s sake?

Will you be one of the meek, will you turn the other cheek
Would you give a little more than you take
Would you shine your little light upon the children of the night
What on Earth would you do for heaven’s sake?
