LYRICS
Down along the Cumberland
People under bridges and tents and cardboard shacks
Meanwhile on Broadway
Ladies of the evening with burdens on their backs
There ain’t much difference between them and you and me
There ain’t no difference that God’s heart can see

If we only had the heart
We could reach out to them now
Lord, show us how
To meet them right where they are
With a love unafraid to touch their scars
We could show them where the love of Jesus starts
If we only had the heart

The praise of New York City
Tangled in a web of wealth in his penthouse on the park
And by the golden gates of ‘Frisco
There’s people desperate and diseased searchin’ in the dark
It makes no difference why they turned out that way
‘Cause as they’re dying, it’s God’s heart that breaks

There ain’t much difference between them and you and me
There ain’t no difference that God’s heart can see
