George Stuart - I remember a man

I do remember very well

Jesus, the teacher, healer, friend;

They sayh he had nowhere to dwell,

Yet on him many did depend.

I do remember that he cared;

He touched the lepers, loved the poor;

The sick were healed, the hungry fed;

He favoured those who broke their Law.

I do remember him upset,

Hostile and brash with Pharisees;

Ablaze with anger yelled a threat

At temple thieves who stole with ease.

Yet I recall he knew success;

The people followed with no fear;

His simple wisdom did impress;

Crowds waved their palms; he heard them cheer.

When I look back I see a man

Broken by life; had no relief;

His friends betrayed, and then they ran;

They left him there engulfed in grief.

I do recall with sympathy,

When near Jerusalem he cried;

His suff’ring in Gethsemane;

He thought God left him when he died.

Yes. Jesus, I remember him;

He tasted deeply joy and pain.

His life reminds me when life’s grim,

That love will conquer and sustain.
