Changes
Empty your pockets of material goods
Empty your minds of all mistrust
Empty your days of those, who just use
Empty your days of those, whom you lust.
Empty your soul of evil you have done
Empty your eyes of staring about
Empty your hands of the things you covet
Empty your heart of hate and of doubt.
Open your eyes to the wonderful world
Open your arms to those in need
Open your days to a good deed a day
Open your home to those hungry, to feed.
Open your ears to the cries of the world
Open your mind to the sound of the child
Open your heart, let love enter in
Open your heart, let your love run wild
Making these changes, turning about
Will improve your life and your days
The changes affect more than you know;
So many others, in so many ways.
For the bad will change, into the good
For the humble will see their reward.
This all will be, because you have changed
And accepted and lived as the Lord.
