[Spoken]
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
Put 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!"
Then 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
But Lord, I'd never forget that face
Oh 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've done it to the least of My brethren
You've done it unto Me, oh yes
In as much as you've done it to the very least of My brethren
Oh, 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 prayed that you'd come
I heard your programs on the radio and read your magazines
But you never came
Depart from Me!"
"Lord, there must be some mistake, when?
Lord, when, 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, yeah?
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 wanna 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 brethren
You've not done it unto Me
In as much as you've not done it unto the least of My brethren
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
