The Oppressed Set Free
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me',
Isaiah foretold, 'He's anointed me
to bring relief to the poor,
to show captives the door,
the blind to see and the oppressed set free.'
Jesus rolled up the scroll and sat down.
“Today this text has been fulfilled be it known.”
“Is not this Joseph's son?
How can such deeds be done?”
“No prophet's is welcome in his home town.”
Luke 4.16-24
