Separated from Family, Society and God

Packed to the brim with clothes, promises and junk

Others, the Church, the Salvation Army

Dsus4               Dsus2             D
The city, other nonprofits, they have got it
[Verse 8]
D
Bottom line, the homeless they reject the Truth

Am                           C
Most reject the Bible, and Jesus

C
Lost to the flesh, drugs and pride

D     Dsus4     C        G
A story I need to tell
[Chorus]
G
You see them on the streets

You see them in fast food joints

Separated from Family, Society and God

D                                         Am

Now will stop enabling and really start helping THEY NEED IT
