I Am Standing Waiting
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #298 (2013) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: I am standing waiting, waiting at your door Lyrics: 1 I am standing waiting, waiting at your door,
one of hunger's children from a billion poor,
though you cannot see me, though I am so small—
listen to my crying, crying for us all.
2 I stand at your table asking to be fed,
holding up my rice bowl, begging for your bread,
I stand at your schoolroom longing just to learn,
hoping that you'll teach me ways to live and earn.
3 I stand at hour clinic begging for vaccine,
I stand at your wash place where the water's clean,
I stand at your office, beg the heads of state,
I am just a child, so I must hope and wait.
4 I stand in your churches, listen to your prayers,
long to know a God who understands and cares.
If there is a God, a God who loves the poor,
I'm still standing waiting, waiting at your door. Topics: Challenge; Children; Compassion; Eternal Life; Heritage; Injustice; Justice; Human Love; Marginalized; Poverty; Suffering Scripture: Matthew 25:31-36 Languages: English Tune Title: AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE
