Christian? Charity?

This hymn has never been performed. It was inspired by one too many after-sermon coffees with the extremely self-satisfied...

Over There

In a land across the sea,
People dwell in misery.
For their plight I deeply care;
They are safely Over There.

As I drive to work each day,
I pass a homeless  man, each way.
I give him all I can spare -
He is also Over There.

Over There, Over There
Look at me, how much I care!
I'm so loving and so fair,
As long as you stay Over There.

My downstairs neighbor's very sad;
She's all alone, and times are bad.
But if I help when none can see,
No-one can admire me!

She came to church the other day;
I looked at her and turned away.
If I help in her distress,
Who on earth would that impress?

Over There, Over There
Look at me! See how I care!
I'm so loving, I'm so fair
But damn your hide.... STAY OVER THERE!!!!!!
