(Wayburn Dean, Keith Lancaster)

All the people who are living in the cold
No direction, and no place to call their own
Lacking proper shelter pain is all they see
It humbles me completely just to know that could have been me

Chorus
That could have been me
Pain and tears relief unknown
Questioning why was I ever born
That could have been me

Starvation in the world is bringing grief
All of the blindness, famine and disease
I should never take for granted my health
And what He’s done for me,
When I know I could have been the one with no one to rescue me

That could have been me with the homeless
Not enjoying a happy home
It could have been me with the dying all alone
Though I know it’s not my destiny
I’ve been spared from this much misery
I reach out and try to offer some relief

In our hearts we just want to say
We don’t deserve this but you gave anyway
That could have been me
