(Song written by Sydney Bertram Carter, 1915-2004)
I come
like a beggar with a gift in my hand
I come
like a beggar with a gift in my hand
By the
hungry I will feed you
By the
poor I’ll make you rich
By the
broken I’ll mend you
Tell me
which one is which
I come
like a prisoner to bring you a key
I come
like a prisoner to bring you a key
By the
hungry I will feed you
By the
poor I’ll make you rich
By the
broken I’ll mend you
Tell me
which one is which
And the
need of another is the gift that I bring
The need
of another is the gift that I bring
By the
hungry I will feed you
By the
poor I’ll make you rich
By the
broken I’ll mend you
Tell me
which one is which
Take the wine that I bring you and the bread that I break
The wine that I bring you and the bread that I break
By the
hungry I will feed you
By the
poor I’ll make you rich
By the
broken I’ll mend you
Tell me
which one is which
