Verse
When you saw me hungry
You gave me food to eat
When you saw me thirsty
You gave me water
When I was a stranger
You opened up your door
When you saw me shivering
You clothed and made warm
Chorus
Whatever you do to the least of these
You do it unto me
When you serve the broken the poor the lost
You’re serving Christ your Ki-ng
When you love your neighbor
When you love your en-e-my
Whatever you do to the least of these
You do it unto me
Turnaround
Verse
When you saw me hurting
You came to soothe my pain
When you saw me locked up
You came to my prison
When you saw me hopeless
You brought joy into my life
When you saw me suffering
You stayed right by my side
Chorus
Whatever you do to the least of these
You do it unto me
When you serve the broken the poor the lost
You’re serving Christ your Ki-ng
When you love your neighbor
When you love your en-e-my
Whatever you do to the least of these
You do it unto me
Bridge
The faces of the poor
Are the faces of the Lord
The faces of the sick
Are the faces of the Lord
The faces of the addicts
The drag queens the convicts
The beggars the atheists
The Muslims the racists
The Jews the gays
The Christians the straights
The Republicans the Democrats
The prostitutes the diplomats
The elderly the homeless
The disabled the fatherless
The blind the deaf
Those unsure of their righteousness
The doctors the lawyers
The pacifists the soldiers
The humble the vain
Those abused in Jesus' name
The cowardly the fearless
The selfish the generous
The hardworking the lazy
Those who the world calls crazy
The bitter the down-hearted
Oh we’ve barely gotten started
Ending
Whatever you do to the least of these
Whatever you do to the least of these
You do it unto me
