“So the last will be first, and the first last.”

The first shall be the last

And the last shall be the first 

Those hungry will be fed

those thirsty will not thirst 

 

The first shall be the last

And the last shall be the first 

Those lost will be found 

Those hurting will not hurt 

 

The first shall be the last

And the last shall be the first 

Those weeping will be comforted 

Those drowning will stay afloat 

 

The first shall be the last 

And the last shall be the first 

Those crucified will be resurrected 

Those impoverished will be reimbursed 

 

The first shall be the last

And the last shall be the first 

Those rejected will be accepted 

Those despised will be held close
