Son of Judah

My tale is from the time of Rome Away across the sea The tale of one called Jesus Christ From distant Galilee He placed Himself at God's command Accepting all His will Accomplishing the work of God From Tyre to Olive's hill He walked the streets and sailed the seas He healed the blind and lame Since Jesus came and changed the world It's never been the same He hung upon a cross of wood To save from Adam's fate He lived and worked among the poor And died in low estate He turned the world right upside-down With nothing but His love And now He watches us with care From heaven's court above -- Written 1/14/2013 --

Wow, Isaiah, this is truly wonderful! You are such an awesome story-telling poet. In response to your comment, I would be interested to hear about your homeschooling experiences sometime. I bet we have read many of the same books even though we had such different educational experiences. I also bet you opted to use your mind over watching TV - like the Greeks :)
