Michael Card - Distressing Disguise lyrics

He is in the pain, He is in the need He is in the poor, we are told to feed Though He was rich, for us He became poor How could He give so much, what was it for? In His distressing disguise He waits for us to surmise That we rob our brothers by all that we own And that's not the way He has shown Every time a faithful servant serves A brother that's in need What happens at that moment is a miracle indeed As they look to one another in an instant it is clear Only Jesus is visible for they've both disappeared He is in the hand that reaches out to give He is in the touch that causes men to live So speak with your life now as well as your tongue Shelter the homeless, take care of the young In His distressing disguise He hopes that we'll realize That when we take care of the poorest of them We've really done it to Him
