I Come Like a Beggar

(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
