There's a little girl out there standing in the middle of a rutted road
Little tears make muddy water, she hasn't got a home!
Who will be her Jesus when she needs Him?
Who will hold her close when she's afraid?
Who will give the love that makes compassion what it is?
Who will take her hand and help her walk?
Who will be like Jesus, oh, and stand up for the children!
Who will be like Jesus with arms extended wide?
Who will be like Jesus, eyes full of compassion?
Who will be like Jesus, a heart that always cares? Who will be like Jesus?
There are brothers not yet ten, carrying rifles meant to kill
Little soldiers out there fighting, haven't got a clue!
Who will be their Jesus when they need Him?
Who will hold them close when they're afraid?
Who will give the love that makes compassion what it is?
Who will bring them out so they can live?

It's easy in a land of plenty to close our eyes to those without
Often those who have the money are so poor inside
The blessing is to those who freely offer
To make a better world for those deprived
Who will give the love that makes compassion what it is?
Who will hear His call and be a light?
