about

An interpretation of the words of Jesus (Matthew 25:40)

lyrics

What you did for the least

What you did for the least
You did it unto me
What you did for the least
You did it unto me
That’s me sleeping at the bus stop
That’s me begging in the street
What you did for the least
You did it unto me

I’m the orphan you hear crying
I’m a war torn refugee
I’m locked up in a prison
I’m in a sweat shop factory
I’m a call girl with a habit
Aint no cure for my disease
What you did for the least
You did it unto me

Every Sunday morning
I can hear you singing
“glory hallelujah”
You say it’s me your seeking
But I aint in no building
Got no four walls and a ceiling
You’ll find me in the broken
The beaten and the bleeding
I’m a widow right now grieving
Hungry, need feeding
I’m naked and I’m freezing
Can you hear me pleading?
I’m your scape goat, John Doe
Suicide watch on death row
Standing on the gallows
I’m the star of your freak show
I’m the junkie from the ghetto
My bank account is zero
Rehab, Reject ,I’m your missing persons photo
And if you really want to know
What’s the truth that sets you free

What you did for the least
You did it unto me
What you did for the least
You did it unto me
I’m your conscience burning slowly
Call me empathy
What you did for the least
What you did for the least
What you did for the least
You did it unto me
