Jesus story - The role model (Vol 3 No 29)


The Jesus story is the one

Which shows me how to live;

This Jesus story is the one

That prompts me to forgive.

 

This story tells me of a man

Who called the outcast ‘Friend’;

Compassion was the way he lived;

His loving knew no end.

 

When faced with wrong he did not flinch,

But struggled for the right;

He always lived by what he taught,

And would not turn to spite.

 

He never looked for pers’nal gain,

Nor empty hollow praise;

I look to his integrity

And follow in his ways.

 

This Jesus story is the one

Which urges me to show

In every word and every deed

His love lived long ago.
