For the
ungodly he died
For the enemy
he offered reconciliation
For his
haters he showed love
He would
rather die for his enemy
Than see him incur
a punishment he rightly deserved.
What manner
of man is this?
He stands at the door of my house
Calling
‘Peace,
Peace!’
‘Peace, I
bring to you!’
I don’t
normally open the door to strangers
But there is
something about this man
He stands
outside
Gently knocking
“I have come
to dine with you’, he exclaims.
What a
strange man!
I needed to
satisfy my curiosity
‘Come in’, I opened the door.
His smile is
mesmerising
The beauty of
his eyes bring warmth to my house
He embraces
me so tightly
As though he
has known me all my life
As though I
was his best friend and he was mine
He holds me
as though he is reading my mind
And knows I
need a hug
What manner
of man is this?
‘Sir, I have
no food or drink’, I said, nervously.
He looked
deep into my eyes, as though looking into the well of my soul
And said, ‘Child
thirst no more, I have water,’
‘What? Sir I don’t see anything in your hand’ I responded.
‘Hunger no more;
I am the bread of life
All we need for
dinner is here!’ he continued.
What manner
of man is this?
He says he
his the son of God
The bread of
life
The fountain
of living water
The way, the
truth, the life
The bright
and morning star
He says he’s
a redeemer,
The lamb that
was slaughtered
The light of
the world
The beginning
and the end
The Word
What manner
of man this?
The more he
speaks
The more I
feel free
Turned the
glass of water I had into wine
And multiplied
one loaf of bread I had in my fridge
What manner
of man is this?
‘I have a
gift for you’, he declares
‘Who gives
free gifts these days, what exactly does this man want?’ I wondered to myself.
I give this
is gift to anyone who wants it and asks for it
Kings and
slaves alike
Rich and poor
To those who receive
this free gift and open it
I give them a
new status
Be it a
prince or a servant
A new status?
For both the poor and the rich?
Yes, my child...Justified!
What manner
of man is this that he changes the status of both kings and slaves?
Declaring both
justified and both his
The day I let
him into my house I have never been the same
His presence
changed my house
His words set
me free
He declared
me
Justified!
And now I am
His!
What manner
of man is this?
