A Single Song

After three years in desert heat To Jerusalem I went To wash the exalted feet Of whom to Jews were sent I met there with Cephas and with James I presented myself to them Even if we had different names from the same branch we did stem I then went hence for fourteen years To gentiles far and wide To preach with much pain and tears The Gospel that divides And then after all that time Back to Jerusalem I went To see if our messages did rhyme Or if I had to repent But what we found was of great worth We found the message true We found the message to be of birth From same Man through and through Yet today we all believe That new words are to be said And in own wisdom we perceive That we are freshly led But in all the time the Fathers walked A single song to sing And with their words the world was changed As their words the Truth did bring So the simple question is: The new songs that are sung Are they new and fresh and His Or are they merely dung?
