119. I Was Sick, I Was Sad (You Visited Me)

1 I was sick, I was sad, and you visited me,
on my hospital bed and you visited me,
and by just being there,
giving hope, showing care
you brought kindness, God's lovingkindness.

2 I was lost and alone, and you visited me,
I was cold to the bone and you visited me,
and by just being there,
giving hope, showing care,
you brought kindness, God's lovingkindness.

3 I was locked in my cell and you visited me,
in the dark of my shell and you visited me,
and by just being there,
giving hope, showing care,
you brought kindness, God's lovingkindness.

4 In a word, in a smile, when you visited me,
set to listen awhile, when you visited me,
you brought love through the door,
you brought friendship and more -
you brought kindness, God's lovingkindness.
