Would Jesus Turn Away?

So many times we ask ourselves

Do we really do enough?

Or do we shun those in need

Ignore and rebuff?

Have our lives become so comfortable

That we never truly see

The needs of those around us

Those hearts that truly bleed?

Would Jesus turn away?

From those hearts we see as weak

Or would he become their guiding light

The path for which they seek?

You would think by now that man would strive

To walk a straighter walk

To lend a hand, to bend a knee

Use kindness when we talk

Instead we stand and argue

At petty things and more

We defame the poor and innocent

With an arrogant rapport!

Mankind would be much better

If it would learn from its mistakes

Work at making lives more equal

For everybody’s sake

They should study words of wisdom

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged

And learn to cherish one another

Never to begrudge

The necessities for living

For every soul deserves the best

For no man is better than another

Each is equally blessed

We should ask ourselves the question

Do we really do enough?

Or do we shun those in need

Ignore and rebuff?

Would Jesus turn away?

From those hearts we see as weak

Or would he become their guiding light

The path for which they seek?
