You’ve finally come full circle
To where it all began
Where God reached down and touched your heart
With love for this distant land
You didn’t know how to do it
Or where you would begin
But stepping out in faith
You knelt and took my hand
My feet were cracked and calloused
My stomach empty and bare
My hair tinged red from malnutrition
When I first heard that you cared
They told me of hot soup
That you prepared for me
They said you knew someone
Who gave His life for me
I did not understand it
But yet I got in line
And waited with the others
To see what I would find
You spoke another language
I did not know your ways
You handed me a bowl of soup
And smiled at me that day
You called me "little buddy"
I did not comprehend
I smiled and nodded and said "Yeah"
For I had found a friend
And now that I have grown
And we have parted ways
I know you probably wonder
What's come of me these day's
Look for me within their eyes
They look at you the same
They feel your love in each embrace
As you bless them in God's name
You're with your little buddy
Every time you feed a child
You can feel me in each heartbeat
You can see me in their smile
And if you listen closely
From the children at your knee
You'll hear our Savior saying
You did it unto Me
