The Least Of These

Karl Kohlhase


You're asking, "where is He?"
And you don't know where to go now to find Him 
You saw Him this morning 
He was that man laying down on the park bench
You gave Him a blanket 
You had a spare in the trunk for emergencies 
And for the least of these... 

When you love the least of these 
With just a cup of cool water 
Then you did it unto Me
When you love the angels sing 
And you are welcome by My Father 
when you love the least of these 

You got home that evening 
You had a long hard day at the office
The children were screaming 
You cooked them supper 
Then they begged you, "Please read to us." 
And after the story 
You tucked them in with a prayer 
O sweet memories 
Of the least of these

When you love the least of these 
With just a cup of cool water
Then you did it unto Me 
When you love the angels sing
And you are welcome by My Father 
when you love the least of these
