lyrics

The Guest of the poor came to me
I found I could not let Him in
Poor as I was
I was a miser of sin
My Hands, they were rich in blood
And my mind, it was rich in lies
So I wallow now in a wealth of mud
Yet the Guest will wait for me

The Head of the mourners passed by
His face was lit with joy
And a song rose from the chorus behind
They danced even as they cried
The Shepherd of the meek led them on
Gentle were His hands and His eyes
When one fell down He lifted them up
And carried them besides

The carrier of water sat near
A glance He drew from a few
But one or two to Him they flew
And gulped His pure waters anew
The Healer of mercy reached out
His touch was that of a child
I wondered again that He would feel
The wounds of a leper's skin

The Teacher of peace walked among
Proclaiming light to the dark
I listened and knew beyond reason or thought
He spoke of what He knew
The Lord of the persecuted cried out
From His mouth came water and blood
And it was there that I first understood
Here was one who really loved

The Guest of the poor returned
I fell on my knees at His feet
I emptied my heart, and I Gave Him my life
For I recognized Him as my King
The King of pure hearts knelt beside
Embraced me as one of His own
Now I dance with the mourners, am led with the meek
And I welcome Him into my home
