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.
