The Jesus story of times past (Vol 4 No 73)
The Jesus story of times past
Can stir in you and me
A purpose, that through life can last,
An inner harmony.
This brave yet humble Jewish sage
Who changed our history
Has spoken boldly to each age
Of love and liberty.
He would not compromise with wrong
Although it caused his death;
His love remained forever strong
Until his dying breath.
Compassion ruled; his heart was true;
He shunned security;
And thus, in life, he pointed to
A new humanity.
Alternatives for the last verse.
For me, he need not be a king
In heaven’s highest place;
I’ll follow him and gladly sing
Loud praises of his grace.
Or
This man of strength and gentleness
Forgiveness, truth and grace
Reveals a godly sacredness
I honour and embrace.
