Matthew 25: 35-40

The Lord said, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat" You gave me the finest meat, From me you did not lie or gave an excuse or did flee You instead fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink About it, you didn't have to think, You knew that I did thirst So, you put my needs first. I was a stranger and you invited me in You didn't ask me of my belief or cared the color of my skin, You treated me like no other I was treated as your very own brother. I needed clothing and you gave me clothes Now I am gentle to the eyes and the nose, Now I am also warm and I feel anew And it was all because of you. I was sick and you looked after me to get well You are a very kind and caring person I can tell, You stayed with me until I got better I am now your debtor. I was in prison and you came to visit Never did you question or hated me because of it, Everyday you were always there You did truly care. The righteous then did say unto him When did we ever see you that sad, hurt and grim, When did we see you hungry or thirsty and gave you drink and food And when were in that condition, that you we viewed. When did we see you as a stranger and we invited you inside When in our home were you warm and protected and at our side, And when did we give you new garments to be worn Because, your old garments were tattered and torn. When did we see you in prison and cared for you when you were ill When did we give you all that kindness and good will, Whenever did we see you that way our Lord When was that our accord. Then the Lord will say unto them one and all You were there for me when I made a call, Whatever you did for the poor and the needy, the jailed and the immigrant You did it also for me, because it was heaven sent.
