Share Your Bread (David Haas)

        Clothe the naked and take them to your care;

        do not turn your back on your own.

        Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,

        and your wounds will be bound and healed.

      

        If you share your bread with the hungry,

        If you welcome the poor to your home,

        then your light will shine, your light will shine,

        and the sun will rise once more.

      

        And your dignity shall go forth before you,

        and the glory of God shall keep you safe.

        Then you shall call and God will answer,

        you will cry and God will be there.

        Refrain

     

        If you remove all oppression from your midst,

        and the shame of those who do you harm,

        if you offer your bread to the hungry,

        your God will be with you.

        Refrain
