Lyrics

The good Lord has said I'll pass through your land, with wings of a bird Or in form of man I'll judge you by deeds, that you do every day When he passes your way, who will he be? He might have been the beggar Who wore the ragged clothes Was hungry and asked for food And shelter from the cold And did you shake your head, and turn him away? Then how would he judge you? On the great judgment day? Now, he might have been the minister With a collar worn with age That asked for an offering, For his little church That some needy soul might be saved And did you walk right on by? And overlook his outstretched hand? Yes, this might have been your savior Just testing you in the many ways, that he can He could have been the sparrow Outside your window in the cold That searched in the ice and snow For the crumbs that you forgot to throw And as you set by your fireplace And your greed, was plainly shown Will there be a place for you? Around God's great throne? He might have been the cripple, with the twisted feet That you failed to help, as he stumbled across the street This could have been your savior Though strange, as it seems to be If it was, how will he judge you? This cripple on the street? Yes, you might have met your maker in some form today If so, how will he judge you, on the Great Judgment Day? He'll judge you by deeds that you do every day When he passes your way, who will he be?
