Lyrics: (Male) I was hungry in the shadows, you broke your bread with me, I was thirsty in the silence, and you poured out mercy’s stream. A stranger lost and weary, you opened up your door, And in the warmth of kindness, I found my heart once more. (Both — Chorus) For the least of these, you loved Me, when you saw no crown or throne. In the face of the forgotten, You made My heart your home. When your hands became compassion, and your tears became My sea, Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for Me. (Female) I was naked, clothed in sorrow, you wrapped Me in your care, I was sick and left in darkness, still you knelt beside Me there. In the prison of My longing, you spoke the words of peace, And the chains that bound My spirit fell into sweet release. (Bridge — Both, harmonic lift with strings) “Lord, when did we see You broken? When did we see Your need?” He whispers through the hurting: “When you loved the least of these.” (Final Chorus — both voices soaring, then fading to piano) For the least of these, you loved Me, You were mercy’s holy flame. Every act of quiet kindness still echoes My name. When your heart became My shelter, Your light My melody, Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for Me.
