the world will tell u that u can't see God with your naked eyes
but, honey i'd be starving somewhere if i ate all their lies
cuz today in church i sat there wonderin'
don't get paid til tuesday, Lord
from whence and how is my next meal comin'??
just as the next hymn started
didn't even see her walkin' down the aisle
but felt her little tap on my shoulder
& with this gracious, holy smile
she shook my hand...
and folded just within her palm
was a twenty dollar bill
so precious, this heavenly alm
i felt the moving of that still,
that calm...
small voice answering back to me
as she whispered ever so gently
" just wanted to u to know, dawn
that i enjoy seeing young people like u
in church on sunday morning, hon'...
take this as a token of my appreciation...
today lunch on me, baby!!"
then she was gone
back up the aisle and to her seat
i tell ya, folks...it ain't too often that ya greet
the face of God in physical form
but she is a sweet little black woman
and her hands are so, so warm
