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

  1. Sydney Bertram Carter,據說是一位耶和華舞蹈和作曲家。
    他這首詩寫的都是充滿悲憫和慈愛的心!想必Joe 也是充滿著慈愛的心。

    1. 阿姨午安,我都是最近才偶然認識到這位作曲家的作品,可惜我在Youtube找不到這首詩的歌唱版本,聽起來會更動人。我不感說自己充滿慈愛,只是在學習把自己看小一點,把世界看大一點吧!
