The
hungry were just that... hungry
The poor were just that... poor
The sick were just that ...sick
The weak were just that ....weak
The broken were just that ....broken
The fool was just that... a fool
The religious were just that .. Bound by law
The lonely were just that... Lonely
The prodigal was just that .... Covered in pig slop
The woman caught in adultery was just that... Guilty
The hopeless were just that.... Without hope
The orphan was just that... An orphan
The slave was just that.. A slave
I was just insane, murderer, lost, hopeless and full of despair. Prisoner, beaten, abused, left for dead, abandoned, struck down, lied to, forgotten, destroyed....
Until...
Sunday morning arrived, we passed over from death into life.. We who were not a people became the people of God.. We who were orphaned became son and daughter ...
Now let the poor say I am rich
Now let the weak say I am strong
Now let the forgotten say I've been remembered..
Now let the lost say I am found
Now let the insane say I have the mind of Christ
Now let those in despair say they have seen a great light and hope as come!
There is wisdom for the fool, hope for the hopeless, a Father for the child left behind
There is grace for the religious, forgiveness for the guilty
Life for the dead..
