The bee’s knees
Was Jesus in Capernaum
The people knew it
Genuine article
Sabbath congregation
Well used to oratory
They knew the real from fake
Particularly
Hitler when in Nuremburg
Fulminating Fuhrer
Worked the crowd
To heights of fighting force
Appealing to their pride
A nation once again
He filled the world with hatred
Nazi curse
The good word
Is a healing word
But this might hurt a little
Like medicine for a cut
To cleanse a wound
Authentic voice and teaching
O what the world would give
It’s here today
The living gospel sound
What do you want with me?
Jesus of Nazareth
Have you come
To tear my world apart?
That two edged sword
You carry
What am I to do?
Give up the ghost?
No give me now your heart
