Think of Me
Lisa Chan
I have a name you can know it
It's been awhile since anybody asked
I love to laugh just like you do
And my family also means the world to me
So as you choose what to wear
Remember I fight to stay warm
As you decide where to eat
It's my children who mourn
Think of me
Let me live in your mind
Keep loving me
While others play blind
Show true religion
'Cause words don't relieve
Your actions, they heal me
Show that you believe
Think of me
You have a life, I understand
God has blessed you, so enjoy what He has given
Your hurts are real, as mine are
Possessions never shield a life from earthly pain
As you consider your life
Would you think about mine
As you remember my tears
Maybe yours disappear
Think of me
Let me live in your mind
Keep loving me
While others play blind
Show true religion
'Cause words don't relieve
Your actions, they heal me
Show that you believe
As you choose what to wear
Remember I fight to stay warm
As you decide where to eat
Hear my children who mourn
Think of me
Let me live in your mind
Keep on loving me
While others play blind
Show true religion
'Cause words don't relieve
Your actions, they heal me
Show you believe
Think of me
There are few songs anymore that really cause me to think or that have any impact on my world. When I heard the words of that song, I was moved to tears. How can I keep ignoring those around me who are desperate for food and water just so that I can get a bigger TV or so that I can get that book I've been wanting. My needs and problems seem so much smaller in the face of such awareness.

Thank you for posting these lyrics. I heard the song for the first time this morning and felt the same as you, moved to tears. We are in the process of adopting from Africa and these words are so real to us. Thank you.
And it looks like my husband posted that comment, but it was really me :) You can follow our journey and pray for us if you'd like! www.momentssealed.com ~Emmie
