Third World Woman

Amy Grant

Third World Woman What if I were that mother staring from my TV What if that were my brown-eyed baby Hungry as she could be What if that were my family What if that was my world Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me What of I was that mother and I was waiting on me The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea Living with my distractions Life's been good to me Maybe she's praying Praying for a miracle Maybe the answer is me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need Who's that third world woman Maybe she could be Could be mother, could be daughter Could be sister to me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me

Luke 21:1-4                    Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had  to live on.”
