Jesus Christ
Upon the sands of time, there walked a man of great worth
Whose words would echo through the ages, across the breadth of the earth
In Galilee, he taught with parables of depth and meaning
The Son of Man, whose divine love gave hope to those in need of healing
Blessed are the meek he said, for they shall inherit lands
The inner land of peace he meant, lets not misunderstand
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God's hands
Love and compassion side by side as one band
With every step, with every word, he shined his holy light
Uniting all in brotherhood, breaking hate, and the violent fight
He spoke of lilies in the field, of sparrows in the sky
Of treasures not of gold or gem, but virtues that won't die
Love thy neighbour as thyself, his central, ageless cry
A call to serve, to heal, to lift the down trodden high
The Sermon on the Mount stands as his testament of peace
A blueprint for a life of grace, where mercies never cease
Turn the other cheek, he urged, when conflicts seek to increase
In forgiveness and in love, let our sorrow be released
He fed the multitudes with loaves, with fishes from the brine
A miracle of providence, of the divine design
But greater still, he fed the soul with bread and wine of sign
Do this in remembrance of me, a feast of the divine
Betrayed by kiss, condemned to cross, his promises to keep
He bore our sins upon his back, his love both vast and deep
Upon the cross, his final breath, a ransom for the sin
It is finished, he proclaimed, new life for us to win
So let us walk the path he trod, with charity and faith
To spread the good news far and wide, with every breath, with grace
For in His teachings, we find hope, a guide that never fades
The word made flesh, the Light of the World, whose spirit in the light, bathes
O Christ, whose arms were stretched wide upon the cross
In selfless acts of love, for no gain but a great loss
Your crown of thorns, a royal ring of grace
We Thank You for the mercy shown to our human race.
