Jesus

saw a leper unwashed unclean
yet Jesus touched the leper
of course most wouldn't 
Why should they it wasn't their fault
Yet Jesus healed the leper
With a word or a touch with a smile
Jesus spoke to the demon possessed 
many wouldn’t 
but Jesus chased the demon away 
The prisoner was freed
Don't you love miracles
Jesus saw the hungry and like a Shepherd fed his flock but we turn our backs and pretend they are somebody else's problem like sin somebody else has its stain
