Lyrics to "For The Least Of These"

We realized that we uploaded For The Least Of These without posting the lyrics to the song. In the future, we'll try to be a little more coordinated, but for now here are the lyrics to last night's song.

For The Least Of These

Verse 1
When I was hungry, you broke the bread,
And gave of yourself that all might be fed.
When I sought water, you quenched My thirst,
And poured out yourself, putting the lowly first.

Refrain
Whatsoever you do for the least of these,
You do for Me.
Come take your place in My Father's house.

Verse 2
When I was naked, you gave Me your clothes,
My burdens laid bare, your love soothed My woes.
When I was homeless, you took Me in,
Offering refuge from storms deep within.

Verse 3
When I was ailing, it was your care
That lifted My spirit from the depths of despair.
Even in prison, you called on Me,
Sharing the love that sets captives free.

And it begins...

Thanks for stopping by. This website was created as a repository for songs written by Michael Mullink and Michael Vrazel. For nearly 3 years now, we have been writing and singing these songs for liturgy at our local parish, and we are hoping that by launching this website we might be able to share them with a broader audience. Rooted in our Christian faith, these songs have been a joy to write, and we hope you find them inspirational and insightful. Your feedback is welcome in the comments sections, and if you have any interest in using these songs for worship in your own community of faith, please drop us a line. We have scores and guitar music for most of them.

Here in this first post, we'd like to share with you a song inspired by the 25th Chapter of Matthew's Gospel: For The Least Of These. You can listen to the song by clicking the Streampad player at the bottom of this page. (We will be adding additional songs to the playlist shortly.) This recording was made at a Lenten concert put on by the music ministers of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Atlanta, GA on Mar. 26. We hope you enjoy it.
