Christ’s Message

I’ve no time for the religious with their certainties and rules

If they think they know it all, they are really fools.

They have no time to listen to opinions, which they fear

And condemn any challenge to the things that they hold dear.

If they listened to Christ’s message, perhaps they’d understand

That he loves all people, from all creeds and every land.

The God I know within my heart, has only ever craved

To capture every human heart, until we’ve all been saved.

He has no time for dogma or any sacred creed

He just longs to help the poor and succour those in need.

I am proud that I’m a Christian and attend St Mary’s here

But in case you wondered I’ll just make one thing clear.

I see all men as brothers be they Muslim, Mick or Prod

Hindu, Jew or Buddhist and if you think that’s odd

Then I’m truly sorry for I think that is Christ’s way

And I know He loves all people, be they straight or gay.
