I Saw My Brother

I saw a needy brother
Who wept for lack of bread
To give his wife and children.
I saw and I felt led …

I had a few possessions,
Enough to live upon;
To part with some of these, I thought,
Would help them to live on.

And I remembered Him who gave
His all that I might live:
I gave my brother what I had
And told him, “Do not grieve.”
