You Gave Me No Kiss - Based On Luke 7
Simon:
Who is that woman, what's she doing here?
Before that man kneeling, spreading her hair
Weeping and sobbing, why doesn't he see
What kind of woman she has to be
Oh the disorder, such a commotion
Spoiling our meal with excessive emotion.
Jesus:
Listen to me I've got something to say
How did you treat me when I came today?
No welcome, no washing for my dusty feet
Offensively silent you chose how to greet
Do you see this woman? I don't think you do
A much loving sinner, forgiven, but you -
You gave me no kiss.
