What Did You Say, Lord?She was sad, and I gave her no cheer; She was despairing,and I gave her no hope. Yet I say, “Where have I failed Thee, Lord?” Her child was sick, but I polished silver; Her husband was fired, but I showed her my new suit; Her friend let her down, but I went shopping. Yet I say, “Where have I failed Thee, Lord?” Her confidence was betrayed, then I told her the minister’s faults; her faith was faltering, then I was critical of the church; Her soul sought salvation, then I hurried off to my club. Yet I say, “Where have I failed Thee, Lord?” Wait! Did I hear Him say, “You do not understand her needs.” Did I hear Him say, “You were too busy.” Did I hear Him say, “You are of little faith.” Or did He say, “Why call ye me ‘Lord’?” Author Unknown Back to Christian Poetry
