Story Behind The Song
While raising my children, we would frequent going in to the city as they participated in a music school connected with Temple University. Seeing so many homeless, I did not want my children to become hardened to seeing them, so we would give to them - coupons to fast food, left overs from lunch. Once a woman with four children asked us to get her lunch and we did.
Song Description
This really at this point is my signature song. I believe that this song is a statement of something that I believe very strongly - we are here to provide for needs around us. We cannot provide for all of them but we can keep ourselves aware and provide where we are able.

Lyrics
Title: Found in You Composer: Kathy Myers
Narration:
Tears have been shed; the mother's eyes are strained and red
Many times I do not see needs right in front of me.
Lord, make me aware; I'll keep her in prayer
Verse 1
The lone so lost; the night dark and cold.
Dried tears trace a path to stories untold.
The hungry cry out; they beg to be fed.
They look to the world; find garbage instead
Chorus
God leads; we follow. Pure hearts love flows
Show the world what's right and true
The answer is found in you
Narration:
Through my young daughter's eyes
She saw a homeless man shuffling along
Nearby a young child dressed in velvet.
She asked, "Mommy, why do some have so much and some so little?"
Verse 2
The one now your child finds all fear is gone
Once lost in the dark finds hope with the dawn.
The empty are filled; the wrong is made right.l
The deaf hear his word; the blind see His light.
Chorus
Narration
We look to those we know; still quiet tears flow.
No answers are found for the needs all around.
But like a gentle stream the one who made us
Knows best how to heal the hurts we feel.
Chorus
