Forgive Me, Father

A woman begging in the streets of Mexico
I passed her by, without looking twice
My Lord, you taught me better I know
Why did I so coldly close my eyes
Lord, do you still heal the blind?

You say that what I do to others
I in turn do to you
Can you please forgive me, Father
For turning my back on you?
