Verse 1:
I was hungry, and you gave Me food
I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink
Lord when did we see You hungry and feed You?
Lord when did we see You thirsty and give You drink?

Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me

Verse 2:
I was a stranger, and you took Me in
I was naked, and you clothed Me
Lord when did we see You a stranger and take You in?
Lord when did we see You naked and clothe You?

Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me.

Verse 3:
I was sick, and you visited Me
I was in prison, and you came to Me
Lord when did we see You sick and visit You?
Lord when did we see You in prison and come to You?

Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me.
Inasmuch as you did to the least, you did it to Me.

God’s Love: The Heavenly Love - Fr. Moses Samaan

I’m just a little donkey,
That’s all I’ll ever be. 
I carry and I toil,
And that’s enough for me. 

I’m just a little donkey,
No one looks my way. 
But today something’s different. 
It seems a special day. 

The One who came to ride me,
Loved me right away
We rode into the city 
And heard the people say

Hosanna to the Great King,
Save us by Your name. 
Upon palms I was walking,
They shouted as we came. 

Who is this Rider with me?
His hands I feel I know. 
What gift did they give me,
I remember them so?

These hands upon my back,
Made me from the dust. 
Long ago, they formed me,
So serve Him well I must. 

I’m just a little donkey,
That’s all I want to be. 
I carried the Almighty,
In His humility. 

Horses have kings,
And steeds have their knights. 
But I’m a lowly being,
Who carried the True Light

Truly light He is,
And so is His burden.
He doesn’t weigh me down.
He lifts me to heaven

I’m just a little donkey,
There isn’t much I know. 
But I hope that you’ll believe me,
When I tell you so:

I wouldn’t be a monkey, 
A lion, or a man. 
Because today this little donkey,
Carried the I AM. 

Won’t you be a little donkey,
Serving the great King?
Walk in humility,
And you’ll soon find Him riding. 

Bring Him to the people,
And they’ll all be merry.
Not just because of you,
But the One that you carry. 

It’s enough now what I’ve brayed,
I hope that you’ll join me. 
In thanking God He made,
Me, a little donkey.

A Little Donkey

Sometimes we do not know what to do because of the confusion, doubts, and uncertainties in our lives. If you are going through that moment in life now, remember some other people have gone through tougher times before you. In this song, I think of Habakkuk and David as I reflect on the experiences that I went through and still go through. I am reminded of their brutal honesty before God when they went through harder times. I am encouraged to trust in God even when all hopes seem to crumble. Instead of giving up, I sing (in Kiswahili, my heart and Music Language), “Nikumbuke, ” meaning “Remember Me”. Have faith in God and go before God in prayer and ask Him to remember you in whichever situation you are going through. Be encouraged as you listen to this song. May God remember you and show you His light in your darkest moments.
