The Sheep & The Goats Lyrics - Keith Green

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 

And 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 

And 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 Lord 

I could never forget that face 

And 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 did it to the least of My brethren 

You've done it unto Me, oh yes, as much as you've done it 

To the very least of My brethren, 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'd prayed that you'd come, I heard your programs on the radio 

I read your magazines, but you never came, depart from Me 

Lord, there must be some mistake, when? 

Lord, 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? 

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 want to know 

When were You in prison Lord? 

What were You in for anyway? 

I had a friend in Leavenworth, 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
