1Look around, people are hungry For a meal and the Word, oh but haven’t you heard?

You gotta step out, so we can feed them Just a few loaves and fishes can meet all of their wishes

The Lord can give the world enough to eat But only if we are his hands and feet

Chorus: Don’t stop with finding the problem Let’s join together and we can be the solution

A love revolution Keep on until the whole job’s done

Let’s all together roll up our sleeves and get to it You know we can do it

Today!

2C’mon and stand up, for one another When God’s children are cryin’, God’s people should fly

Right out of their seats and hit the pavement No we can’t be complacent when the needs are adjacent

You don’t have to go a thousand miles or more When people need you at the house next door Chorus

Showing the love of the savior to all is Our mission, our purpose, our God-given call x2 Chorus

Chorus 2 (go to the next page)

Chorus 2: The least of these are our brothers Christ said that it would be by our love that they know us

And He lived to show us We live in service to others

Through faith in action we’ll see that mountains are moving Believing and doing

Today, today, today a love revolution today!
