The man who lived in Galilee (Vol 4 No 77)
The man who lived in Galilee
Two thousand years ago,
Lived life like humble, lowly folk;
To riches he said “No.”
He owned no house; he wrote no book;
Did not invent a thing!
He lead no army into war.
Taught outcasts how to sing.
The man who lived in Galilee
Two thousand years ago,
Did not obey the temple law;
He scorned the status quo;
He was not of the ruling class;
He did not covet fame;
Instead he mixed with those ‘unclean’,
Whose lives were full of shame.
This man who lived in Galilee
Two thousand years ago,
Points to a new humanity
Where love has constant flow;
His life revealed what love can do;
He did not want to die;
But when he did his death proclaimed
That love will never die.
