Many A Hindrance

There’s many a hindrance

That Christ sees clear

It’s going unnoticed

But brings Him great tears.

The heart of His people

Are far far away

From all His desires

To love well today.

He showed us His heart cry

In healing the lame

His loving of people

When they’ve gone astray.

He met those in crises

Forbidden to meet

But Christ and His mission

Was tending the sheep.

He touched many lepers

Healed many sick

Forgave many sinners

Even washed their dear feet.

He saw to the heart need

Restored the disgraced

He sat on a well

In a forbidden place.

He healed on the Sabbath

Received a woman’s oil

Cast out many demons

Restoring man whole.

He called the unlikely

Rejected the proud

Restored voice to daughters

When never allowed.

He wept for the city

To which He loved so

Raised from the dead

Many a souls.

He went to the temple

Expressed discontent

Turned over tables

Of pharisaical men.

He called out the fishermen

To let down their nets

Filled with abundance

5000 with bread.

He cared for the prophets

The widows were fed

And what He did then

He calls for again.
