All in Good Faith
In many ways God saves, From diseases, sorrows and water dangers. Countless foes may aim to wound Yet none may touch the body If God protects us as his own, sins cannot touch us. Why talk of anything else When God protects even in the womb?
(Dasam Granth)
God of our strength, in our weakness help us; in our sorrow comfort us; in our confusion guide us. Without You our lives are nothing; with You there is fullness of life for evermore.
(Jewish Service Book)
When I needed a neighbour were you there, were you there? When I needed a neighbour were you there? And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter, Were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty, were you there, were you there? I was hungry and thirsty, were you there? And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter, Were you there?
I was cold, I was naked, were you there, were you there? I was cold, I was naked, were you there? And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter, Were you there?
When I needed a shelter were you there, were you there? When I needed a shelter were you there? And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter, Were you there?
When I needed a healer were you there, were you there? When I needed a healer were you there? And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter, Were you there?
Wherever you travel I'll be there, I'll be there. Wherever you travel I'll be there. And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter, I'll be there.
