For Goodness Sake
by Joyce Martin McCollough

Album: Diamonds On a Dusty Road

Hands wearing tattered gloves
Small fire where the trash once was
Cardboard in a desperate place
Love from down the road
Drives up with a box of hope
Daily bread and a portion of grace

Didn't do it for money
Didn't do it for fame
Didn't do it for anyone
To recognize their name
Didn't do it for the power
Did not do it to be great
Just trying to live out their faith
For goodness sake

Child, such a helpless soul
Too young to seem so old
Coping the best that they can
Love in the hour of need
Reaches out to the least of these
Sharing a prayer and a chance

Didn't do it for money
Didn't do it for fame
Didn't do it for anyone
To recognize their name
Didn't do it for the power
Did not do it to be great
Just trying to live out their faith
For goodness sake

(Ooh, oh, yeah)

Gotta do what we should
Gotta fight the good fight
For the sake of all that's good
And all that is right

Didn't do it for money
Didn't do it for fame
Didn't do it for anyone
To recognize their name
Didn't do it for the power
Did not do it to be great
Just trying to live out their faith

Didn't do it for money
Didn't do it for fame
Didn't do it for anyone
To recognize their name
Didn't do it for the power
Did not do it to be great
Just trying to live out their faith
For goodness sake
For goodness sake

Gotta do what we should
For goodness sake
(Ooh, yeah)
For the sake of all that's good
For goodness sake
