  • She Washed His Feet with Tears

    , , ,

    With hair she washed His feet, The water was her tears. The Pharisee did meet This act with angry jeers. But Jesus said, Leave her alone, Cast not a stone For what she did. The alabaster box She broke anointing Him, Was met with Judas’ mocks And his self righteous vim. The poor you have… Read more

  • His Name Was Enemy

    His name was Sinner, Murd’rer, Enemy, He thought he honored God; a Pharisee. He Steven stoned and saints tormented all, Zealous of his cause; his name was Saul. Light from heaven.
