That is when you loved me

Original tune: Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart (Marion); Arthur H. Messiter, 1834-1916
Matthew 25:34-40

When did we see you poor and when did you have need?
When I was weak and penniless, you came and rescued me.
Well done, well done! That is when you loved me.

When did we see you thirst and hungry for some bread?
When I was knocking at your door, my soul and mouth you fed.
Well done, well done! That is when you loved me.

When did we see you sick or prison’d for a crime?
When I was lonely and in pain, you gave unwasted time.
Well done, well done! That is when you loved me.

When did we see you hurt, rejected and afraid?
When I was orphaned by my own; a name and home you gave.
Well done, well done! That is when you loved me.

When did we hold your hand and touch your face in love?
When I was born and became old, I watched you from above.
Well done, well done! That is when you loved me.
