1984년도에 나온 노래인데, 세계적인 팝스타들이 모여서 아프리카 기근을 위한 기금마련을 위해 개최했던 음악회였던거 같습니다. 저도 어릴 때에 보았던 기억이 있습니다.

25년이 지난 지금도 여전히 아프리카에는 종족/종교갈등과 가난과 기근으로 수많은 사람들이 고통을 겪고 있습니다. 아프리카뿐만이 아니라 세계 많은 지역도 동일하구요.

 

저희 그리스도인들이 한손에는 빵을 가지고 또 한손에는 예수 그리스도의 복음으로 이들에게 다가가기를 기도합니다.

It's Christmas time
Theres no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time
Its hard but when your having fun

Theres a world outside your window
And its a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring out
Are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God its them instead of you!!

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know its christmas time at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know its Christmas time at all?

feed the world
feed the world
feed the world
(let them know its christmas time and..)
feed the world
(let them know its christmas time and..)
feed the world
(let them know its christmas time and..)
feed the world
(let them know its christmas time and...)

to fade...
