Jesus story - The rebel (Vol 3 No 30)


The Jesus story is the one

Which speaks to us today;

This Jesus’ story is the one

Built on the justice way.

 

This story tells me of a man

Who lived in Galilee;

His passion was a dang’rous one

He worked for equity.

 

The power structures of his day

Did not like what they heard;

The outcasts and the common folk

Gained power from his word.

 

He taught that godliness was found

Outside the temple law;

He would not share religious rites

Which pushed aside the poor.

 

And so he paid the awful price;

He would not bow to wrong;

This story still inspires me -

Of one immensely strong.
