George Stuart - Jesus - the One who challenges

Rebellion - he led; he challenged the strong;

For those who were weak, he gave them a song

To sing for their freedom. He fought hard and long

To give hope and purpose; to counter all wrong.

Resistance - he urged; he questioned the law;

If statutes were cruel, brought loss to the poor;

To stone and adult-ress, which caused an uproar,

In sand, he wrote quietly, her life to restore.

Subversion - he taught; he loosened the chain

That rulers would use to cause so much pain;

The status and power they tried to retain,

He sternly rejected, denounced as profane.

Disturbance - he caused and still does today;

He questions; he prompts; he probes lest we play

Along with our bias. Confront us we pray;

That we may be strong as we walk in your way.
