Reaching Out: Our Call To Minister
Resource 1: 'I Was Hungry'

I Was Hungry

I was hungry

And you formed a humanities club

And discussed my hunger.

Thank you.

I was naked

And in your mind

You debated the morality of my

Appearance.

I was homeless

And you preached to me

Of the spiritual shelter of the

Love of God.

I was imprisoned

And you crept off quietly

To your chapel in the cellar

And you prayed for my release.

I was sick

And you knelt and thanked God for

Your helath.

I was lonely

And you lefmt me alone

to pray for me.
