‘I saw the rich ones’
Choir: ‘I saw the rich ones’ by Pat Mayberry, Canada.
- I saw the rich ones, I saw what they gave; the widow who offered two pennies she’d saved;
and I saw she was smiling and I knew she was glad, and I wondered because she gave all that she had. Refrain But with God the world is turned upside down; the poor are embraced and the lost they are found. Let’s work for a world where all people are free; where it’s good to feel good about God loving you and me. - I saw Zaccheus, a sinner they said,
but to his house I saw Jesus go to break bread;
and I knew something special had happened that day when Zaccheus gave half of his riches away. - The men in the vineyards were grumbling one day;
I knew they weren’t happy with what they’d been paid;
for the ones who came later were paid just the same as the workers who greeted the dawn when they came.
