Faith in the Western World Lyrics

Children starving in the night

Don't have the strength to stay alive

And the refugees can't stand and fight

They've got to run just to survive

People hear about it on the TV

Between the latest baseball score

Walk by a family trapped in poverty

Seems so easy to ignore

We're great believers here in the Western world

We've got faith healers here in the Western world

We're great receivers here in the Western world

We can name it, claim it, but it's oh so hard just to give it away

Terror prowling in the night, spilling the blood of innocents

A little girl, her eyes shut tight, her body used by cruel men

To the least of these, as unto me

So we've heard a thousand times

But it's more than hearing, time for doing, time for caring

Left the church of God arise

We're great believers here in the Western world

We've got faith healers here in the Western world

We're great receivers here in the Western world

We can name it, claim it, but it's oh so hard just to give it away
