Dusty Feet

Dusty Feet Your hands are for healing. Your eyes I adore. Your feet walked from heaven To dusty earth floor. You speak truth and love. You share treasured time. You lift up the song in My heart without rhyme. You draw out the lost In the bustling crowd. You shun not the sinner the lofty or the proud. At the well you show kindness. At the wedding you share. At the temple cast out Those who shouldn't be there. You feed all the hungry. You settle the storm. You show that stone throwing Just isn't the norm... Where you come from is peaceful With a worshipful  buzz. And you're bringing this Earth-ward Just to share it with us. And what have I learned As you hang from a tree? That your presence has shown us How a good life can be. No opulent gesture, or lavish display But quietly walking the narrowest way. And the weight of the world As You silently bend Tells of love beyond favour My Saviour. My friend.

The slant rhyme of us and buzz is pretty creative.

Maybe that's the Mancunian accent ;-)
