You Did It for Me
by Gord Lang

Album: After the Rain

I came to you hungry – you fed me a meal
And tenderly showed me a love that was real
A hungering vagrant - that was all you could see
You just fed a stranger – but that Stranger was Me


Now you couldn't have known what the ending might be
That your actions would echo throughout eternity
The hope of the humble - you wanted to be
What you did for the hungry – you did it for Me
naked
prisoner

I stood there exposed to a world full of scorn
With my broken spirit all tattered and torn
The garment of mercy you held in my name
You wrapped it around me – just to cover my shame


When prison and sickness kept me locked away
Longing to witness the clear light of day
You crossed all the bounderies of hesitant fear
Your thoughtful compassion was what drew you near

Forever the annals of Heav'n shall record
That you have inherited your just reward
And My commendation forever shall be
"What you did for the humble – you did it for me"
