Lyrics

Somebody did a kind deed to­day,
Was it you? Was it you?
Somebody sent a kind thought on its way,
Was it you? Was it you?
Somebody spoke a lov­ing word,
That an an­swer­ing chord in a hard heart stirred,
Recalling a long lost voice, once heard.
Was it you? Was it you?

Somebody helped an err­ing one’s feet,
Was it you? Was it you?
The path of vir­tue and truth to keep;
Was it you? Was it you?
Whispered of peace and sins for­giv­en,
Of a bet­ter life and a hope of Hea­ven;
And the chains that bound his soul were riv­en;
Was it you? Was it you?

Somebody rest­ed a tired one,
Was it you? Was it you?
Who had toiled all day till the set­ting sun;
Was it you? Was it you?
Finished for him the task half done,
Encouraged his heart for the days to come,
And told of vic­to­ries yet to be won.
Was it you? Was it you?
