Open Book

He said not to fear and He said a lot of other things too
He made it all very clear for one looking for what's true
Every story that He told and of all the things Jesus spoke
They came young and old because their souls had awoke

The Words He'd say and the parables that He would tell
About how you should pray in so keeping your soul well
They had come from everywhere mourning, noon, night
Of Him all were aware coming to Him with every plight

Where ever Jesus went He always attracted a large crowd
They listened so intent He didn't have to speak very loud
Many came to be cured and others came out of curiosity
But what had truly lured was the chance to be set free

Today is much different, Jesus is no where to be found 
But not the message He sent in His Book firmly bound
As if He was still here standing right there a top the hill
His Voice ever clear in the revealing of His Fathers Will

Yes, very clear. And the more I learn the more interesting and powerful it gets. His Glory being so great, that even just one glimpse would be enough to easily sustain one through a lifetime of hardships. Take care!
