歌詞上是這麼寫的:
When I was hungry, you gave me to eat,
When I was thirsty, you gave me to drink,
No enter into the home of my father.
When I was homeless, you opened your door,
When I was naked, you gave me your coat,
No enter into the home of my father.
When I was weary, you helped me find rest,
When I was anxious, you calmed all my fears,
No enter into the home of my father
When I was in prison, you came to my cell,
When on a sick bed, you care for my needs,
No enter into the home of my father.
When I was aged, you gave a smile,
When I was restless, you listen and care,
Now enter into the home of my father.
看看那些坐臥在床上的病人,看看這些唱著歌的修女和志工。
簡單的歌詞,簡單的意涵,簡單的想法,對應著眼前這個真實的環境,真的讓我很感動。
