I Was Hungry

I was hungry and you fed me To his disciples Jesus once said, When you heard my rumbling belly So, you gave me fruit and also bread. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink I was a stranger and you invited me in, Being kind and courteous you didn't have to think You showed me no hostility, hate or sin. I was freezing and you gave me clothes When I was sick you gave me help, Your love and generosity you did impose You treated me with love, as if I were yourself. I was in prison and you came to visit Because of you I was not ever alone Your kindness and love you didn't prohibit Because of you I didn't moan. Truly I tell you this spoke the Lord divine Then the answer to his story he did tell, Whatever you do for one of these brothers and sisters of mine, You also did it to me as well. You see that child cold and hungry over there You again ignored him and you pass him by, That homeless person you give no help or care In your heart you don't care if they live or die. I wonder what our Lord Jesus will say When on judgement you will stand in front of him, Will you say all you did was to pray While taking care of the poor and hungry was up to them. Randy L. McClave
