What She Wouldn't Give

She received her fourth rejection from when she applied for food stamps the other day

She wonders how she will get by.

Will there ever be any other way?

She sits and cries and wonders if there is some grand plan in all of this?

As she looks out of the window watching her kids.

What she wouldn't give

If she could someday go on a date

What she wouldn't give

If someone would just give her a break

What she wouldn't give

To have someone on which she could hold

What she wouldn't give if this whole situation wasn't getting old.

What she wouldn't give

She looked inside her cabinets and knows she is down to her last can

Regardless of where she's called she just can't get a helping hand.

It looks like she'll skip another meal so her kids can have something to eat.

It looks like her stomach will hurt tonight and she'll again cry herself to sleep.

What she wouldn't give

If her faith would just hold strong

What she wouldn't give

To end this pain that's gone on too long

What she wouldn't give

To be able to buy herself something new

What she wouldn't give for just a dollar or two.

What she wouldn't give.

Yes times are tough and that she can't deny

But she knows that Jesus holds her hand no matter daytime or night.

She's strong and that she knows helps her to get by

She's strong even though sometimes she cries.

What she wouldn't give

If her prayers would just be heard

What she wouldn't give

If she had a Bible to read God's word.

What she wouldn't give to not always be so unsure

What she wouldn't give

If she wouldn't go to bed hungry tonight

What she wouldn't give

If someone would just believe her plight

What she wouldn't give

If her kids had more than this

What she wouldn't give for someone to take her away from all of this

What she wouldn't give.
