Third World Woman--song

I've been at a girl's church camp the past 2 days speaking to them about missions. The verse I shared with them was
 I John 3:17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
The talks went really well.  I enjoyed sharing my experiences with the sweet and spunky girls(more crazy stories from camp will be shared later!!).  As I was driving home today, my friend Carol, texted me about a song she'd heard.  It is Third World Woman by Amy Grant.  Wow oh wow, these are some powerful lyrics and go with this picture I took in Haiti!!




What if I were that mother staring from my TV

What if that were my brown-eyed baby

Hungry as she could be

What if that were my family

What if that was my world

Waiting on water, waiting on a vaccine

Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me



What of I was that mother and I was waiting on me

The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea

Living with my distractions

Life’s been good to me

Maybe she’s praying

Praying for a miracle

Maybe the answer is me



Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me



I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased

And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need

Who’s that third world woman

Maybe she could be

Could be mother, could be daughter

Could be sister to me



Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me
