Jesus - teacher, carer, rebel (Vol 1 No 36)
The Lord, a wondrous teacher, brought a challenge when he spoke;
His authority was welcomed by the poor and simple folk;
Yet, the truth he taught and lived was calculated to provoke.
His wisdom guides us on.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His wisdom guides us on.
The Lord, a patient carer, was aware of human need;
He gave healing and forgiveness, and the freedom to succeed.
His compassion, love and gentleness, affirmed in word and deed.
His caring draws us on.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah.
His caring draws us on.
The Lord, a fearless rebel, faced the power of his day;
He exposed the shallow piety of orthodox display;
He fought battles for the victim, heartless laws he’d disobey.
His courage leads us on.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah.
His courage leads us on.
The Lord, as teacher, carer, rebel calls to everyone;
There are conflicts to engage and there is work that must be done.
For in him we have assurance that the victory will be won.
His triumph drives us on.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah.
His triumph drives us on.Tune Battle Hymn AHB 205(ii) TiS 315
