Home  Singing a New Song   Volume 1 Contents  Jesus - His life and mission

In the stories told, we can there behold

One whose life was supremely free;

He did not let fear ever interfere

With his message or ministry.

Consider this man called Jesus;

One whose life was intensely free.

If revenge was urged then his love emerged,

He would act out of sympathy;

He did not rely on ‘an eye for eye’,

But he taught, ‘Love your enemy’.

Consider this man called Jesus;

One whose life was intensely free.

He was not beset by the tempter’s net;

Did not seek popularity;

He dismissed the thought that he could be bought;

Would not sanction dishonesty.

Consider this man called Jesus;

One whose life was intensely free.

When his end drew near he did not let fear,

Nor the pain of Gethsemane

Halt his march direct; it had no affect;

He decided on Calvary

Consider this man called Jesus;

One whose life was intensely free.

When our freedoms call let us stand up tall;

Let our lives be intensely free;

For we can proclaim it is just the same

As the days there in Galilee

So look at the life of Jesus;
