(\'Now is eternal life\')
Luke 7 v.17-23
*********
John\'s disciples one day
Came to Jesus, did say
John Baptist sent us to
You, to ask this of you
Are you the Messiah promised?
Or is there chance we have Him missed?
At that time Jesus cured
Many, healings assured
Infirmities, sickness
And evil spirits, this
His mission to teach, preach, and heal
To bring salvation and good weal* (*well-being)
And to many who blind
Gave gave sight, they did find
That they could see clearly
And Jesus said, So be
Go your way, you disciples, tell
Things you have seen, heard, know them well
How the blind see, lame walk
How the dumb freed, they talk
Lepers are cleansed, deaf hear
Dead raised, gospel preached here
Too the poor, and blessed are they who
Accept me, what I say and do
