Knowing Their Plight - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The least, the last
lost in this world
wandering, homeless, refugees
we upon this earth

From a manger bed
no room for them in the inn
our savior, his humble birth
knowing their plight

The king of kings,
a humble peasant child
born to save the world
doing the master’s will

Saving all in need
each of us owned by our sin
bringing us to God,
when we give up our will
