He came as a breath of fresh air

to a stagnant, asphyxiated world

preaching a message of joy to all

a glorious man who knew to love

friend of the downtrodden

teacher of the wise

healer of the sick

a man who made a difference

for all who would ever live

a God who cared enough

to become the creature

in their world to die for them

restoring the broken bonds

making all who came, clean

children of Almighty God

What an absolutely amazing

man He must have been.  What

a joy to have been able to see Him.
