He came
indeed He walked this earth, the thing He made
for a time, long enough to comfort those afraid
and those with disease saw the light in Him
and those with power saw not a worth prim
that’s not all He came to fix, no there was more

He saw
the bending of holy minds under worldly power
turning worship into insurance with hearts of cower
leaders condemning the good for breaking the bad
not know Jesus’ mission of love or His big dad
believing He had turned into their greatest chore

He showed
hot too often our dearest works are for human reason
that we may gain for our selves, God’s highest treason
telling so, of the sick not healthy in need of help
going to anyone, anytime on just the sound of a yelp
healing deeper to the heart, past the outward sore

He fixed
though sinners He dined with, ***** He loved with
cutting down any and all social class with grace’s scythe
freeing the religious slaves, guiding them along the way
to those who trust Him, the offer is still good today
not caring when you choose to come in His door

He loved
indeed He walked the earth, the thing He made
with untold love, He made sin’s biggest trade
