EVERY SOUL A TREASURE

The WELS Convention
Has a theme,
Every Soul A Treasure,
President Gurgel urged us all,
To practice this new measure.

When we see a Sudanese,
Or Somalian in our midst,
We should care for his soul,
Share the Gospel first.

When we see a Vietnamese,
In our neighborhood,
We should treasure his very soul,
just as Jesus would.

When we see a homeless man,
That is down and out,
We should find a way to help,
His life may turn about.

When God puts souls before us,
We now know what to do,
Treasure them like your very own,
He will show you how, I know.
