He wars with words, and with His words
he silences the scholars.
He speaks the word, and single words
now open wide the scriptures
–
A carpenter
From Nazareth
Disproving all the masters
–
He tells the truth, and all His truth
like tested steel is ringing.
Sharp as ancient, fresh as dawn
Truly, truly spoken
–
A peasant man
From Galilee
Rescuing the people.
–
He comes in crowds that crowd around
to cast their coats before him.
He comes the blessed of the Lord,
to crowd men to His kingdom.
–
A promised Christ
From Bethlehem
Come to claim the nations.
