And when the Son of Man comes, and all the Holy Angels with Him,
|
|
Then shall He sit on His Glorious throne,
|
|
And He will divide the nations before Him, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
|
|
And He shall put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left,
|
|
And He shall say to the sheep; come ye, blessed of My Father,
|
|
inherit the Kingdom I have prepared for you from the foundation of the world,
|
|
For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat,
|
|
I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink,
|
|
I was naked, and you clothed Me,
|
|
I was a stranger, and you invited Me in,
|
|
I was sick, and I was in prison, and you came to Me.
|
|
Thank you! Enter into your rest.
|
|
And they shall answer Him, yes, they shall answer Him,
|
|
And they'll say, Lord, when?
|
|
When were You hungry Lord, and we gave You something to eat?
|
|
Lord, when were You thirsty? I can't remember. And we gave You drink?
|
|
Huh, when were You naked Lord, and we clothed You?
|
|
And Lord, when were You a stranger and we invited You in?
|
|
I mean, we invited lots of people in Lord. I could never forget that face.
|
|
And Lord, when were You sick and we visited You?
|
|
Or in prison, and we came to You? Lord, tell us?
|
|
In as much as you did it to the least of My bretheren, you've done it unto Me.
|
|
Oh yes, as much as you've done it to the very least of My bretheren, you've done it,
|
|
you've done it unto Me. Enter into your rest.
|
|
Then He shall turn to those on His left, the goats.
|
|
Depart from Me, you cursed ones, into everlasting fire,
|
|
prepared for the devil and his angels.
|
|
For I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat,
|
|
I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink,
|
|
I was naked, out in the cold, in exposure, and you sent me away,
|
|
I was a stranger, and I knocked at your door,
|
|
But you didn't open, you told Me to go away,
|
|
I was sick, racked in pain upon My bed,
|
|
And I begged, and prayed, and pleaded that you'd come, but you didn't,
|
|
I was in prison, and I rotted there,
|
|
I'd prayed that you'd come.
|
|
I heard your programs on the radio, I read your magazines, but you never came.
|
|
Depart from Me!!!
|
|
Lord, there must be some mistake, when?
|
|
Lord, I mean, when were You hungry Lord and we didn't give You something to eat?
|
|
And Lord, when were You thirsty, and we didn't give You drink?
|
|
I mean, that's not fair, well, would You like something now?
|
|
Would one of the Angels like to go out and get the Lord a hamburger and a coke?
|
|
Oh, You're not hungry, yeah, I lost my appetite too.
|
|
Uh Lord uh, Lord, when were You naked,
|
|
I mean Lord, that's not fair either Lord,
|
|
We didn't know what size You wear.
|
|
Oh Lord, when were You a stranger Lord,
|
|
You weren't one of those creepy people who used to come to the door, were you?
|
|
Oh Lord, that wasn't our ministry Lord. We just didn't feel led, you know?
|
|
Lord, when were You sick? What did You have, anyway?
|
|
Well, at least it wasn't fatal; oh, it was?
|
|
I'm sorry Lord, I would have sent You a card.
|
|
Lord, just one last thing we want to know,
|
|
When were You in prison Lord? What were You in for anyway?
|
|
I had a friend in Levenworth..
|
|
ENOUGH!
|
|
In as much as you've not done it unto the least of My bretheren,
|
|
You've not done it unto Me.
|
|
In as much as you've not done it unto the least of My bretheren,
|
|
You've not done it unto Me. Depart from Me.
|
|
And these shall go away into everlasting fire.
|
|
But the righteous into eternal life!
|
|
And my friends, the only difference between the sheep and the goats, according to this scripture,
|
|
is what they did, and didn't do!!
