I was Hungry op 113 by Mark D. Falcone — Lyrics
I was hungry and you gave me food to eat.
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.
I was alone and you came to visit me
I was without clothes and you clothed me,
I was sick and you came to care for me.
I was in prison and you came to visit me

About I was Hungry op 113
This setting of the well-known words from Matthew 25 would suit a service focusing on compassion and charity, or indeed any occasion calling for reflection on Christ's presence among us. Mark D. Falcone’s SATB composition highlights the direct, personal nature of the text. The choir sings the challenging questions posed by those who have helped others, before the King’s resounding affirmation that acts of kindness towards the least of these are acts of devotion to him. The music offers opportunities for expressive, homophonic singing that powerfully conveys the gospel message.
