1 Hope, for a child, is a home that’s secure,
safety for sleeping, fresh water that’s pure,
food on the table, and clean clothes to wear,
love without limits from people who care.

2 Yet in our world many children today
live without hope, cast aside, tossed away,
homeless and hungry, abused, in ill health,
shrouded by apathy, hidden from wealth.

3 Who in our midst will show love to the lost?
Who will support them, whatever the cost?
Who has unlimited power to bring
hope to these children, and make their hearts sing?

4 Blessed by our birth, God, with more than is fair,
Gratefully, gladly we promise to share
all your good gifts with these children in need,
following Jesus in word and in deed.
