The Least of These

By Matt Maher

Lyrics

I’m a stranger 

In a foreign land 

Passing through 

When will I be home again 


You remind me 

Nothing here is permanent 

But Your Word and Your faithfulness 


When I was hungry 

When I was thirsty 

When I was weary 

You let me in 


When love became a refugee 

He became my refuge 

When love became a prisoner 

He set me free 


The widow and the orphan 

We all became His children 

When He stole my heart between two thieves 

That’s when love became the least of these 


I’ve been searching for God my whole life 

All alone 

He was waiting in the poor man’s eye 

In a mirror  

Now I see the truth God 


I’m the sinner 

The beggar 

The poor man 

The one in need of You 


When love became a refugee 

He became my refuge 

When love became a prisoner 

He set me free 


The widow and the orphan 

We all became His children 

When He stole my heart between two thieves 

That’s when love became the least of these 


Where you’re hungry 

Where you’re thirsty 

Where you’re weary 

I will let you in 


Where You’re hungry 

Where You’re thirsty 

Wherever You’re weary 

I will let You in


When love became a refugee 

He became my refuge 

When love became a prisoner 

He set me free 


The widow and the orphan 

We all became His children 

When He stole my heart between two thieves 

That’s when love became the least of these 

When He stole my heart between two thieves 

That’s when love became the least of these
