Jesus lived his message
And people followed
The emperor made it viral
Now we have Christmas
It celebrates the birth
Of love and compassion
Embodied in a human
We know as Jesus
He saw into our nature
The good, the bad and ugly
The slave, the sinner and saint
All existing without taint
It baffles the mind
How can this be?
Jesus just lived it
So all could see.
He saw we’re not separate
One from another
It’s only human minds
That create distinct kinds
What follows is love
Living with compassion
So Christmas is for us
And was started by Jesus.
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household." (Matthew 10:34-36)
