Faith
This man was a Centurion of Rome with many men at his command
He lived in a very beautiful home surrounded by large swaths of land
Each day he was surrounded by servants who obeyed his every word
But off to Capernaum he went because of the miracles he had heard
His beloved servant had a palsy disease to which there was no cure
As now it is now Jesus this man see's in explaining his reason for
Jesus said let us go but the man explained about his work and position
But Lord I know, from here you can cure my servant of his condition
Jesus marveled at what He heard saying I've seen no faith so great
In offering a very salaam word about His Own Children and their fate
There will be many in His Kingdom but some will choose not to attend
As they've forgotten where they're from but will figure it out in the end
Yet still there will be others perhaps someone you meet upon the way
In Jesus we are all brothers but this was meant for the ones that stray
You choose to turn a blind eye while the blind would in turn seek Him out
In so seeing, you'll then know why, as to Matthew 8:12 there'll be no doubt
Matthew 8:12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
