WHATSOEVER YOU DO

You see me hungry, lying on the footpath,

I need your love and care to quench my thirst,

I’m looking for some decent clothes and shelter.

O see the state I’m in, the very worst!

You’ll find me in the hospital so weary,

Imprisoned by my loneliness so great,

The victim of man’s cruel exploitation.

How can you ever leave me to my fate?

Whatsoever you do to set your brother free,

Whatsoever you do to end his misery,

Whatsoever you do to bring him liberty,

Whatsoever you do, you do it unto Me.

Perhaps you’ll help to find me some employment

Or say a word to calm my anxious fears,

Be brave to fight with me against injustice

Or sit by me and lend a listening ear.

At times I need a word of consolation,

The joy of seeing you standing by my side,

I promise that your love will be rewarded,

O come, you blessed and in heav’n abide.
