When I needed a neighbour
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a neighbour
Were you there?
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
Were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty
Were you there, were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty
Were you there?
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
Were you there?
I was cold, I was naked
Were you there, were you there?
I was cold, I was naked
Were you there?
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
Were you there?
When I needed a shelter
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a shelter
Were you there?
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
Were you there?
When I needed a healer
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a healer
Were you there?
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
Were you there?
Wherever you travel
I'll be there, I'll be there.
Wherever you travel
I'll be there.
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
I'll be there. |

The King will say to
those at his right hand,
'Come, O blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from
the foundation of the world;
for I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you clothed me,
I was sick and you visited me,
I was in prison and you came to me.'
Then the righteous will answer him,
'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee,
or thirsty and give thee drink?
And when did we see thee a stranger
and welcome thee,
or naked and clothe thee?
And when did we see thee sick
or in prison and visit thee?'
And the King will answer them,
'Truly, I say to you, as you did it
to one of the least of these my brethren,
you did it to me.'
(Matthew 25:34-40) |
