Luke 4:31-37
He spoke with authority
The people were impressed
In long ago Capernaum
He’s genuine they confessed
A man disturbed in spirit
Abused his power to save
Jesus cured his malady
People were amazed
Hitler spoke to people’s pain
To their hardship and their pride
He deceived a suffering nation
He boasted and he lied
Led them into misery
Ruled with cruel command
Turned a lovely country
As dead as desert sand
Trump he will say anything
Things folk like to hear
The world is how he says it is
The real world nowhere near
America divided
Wants to hear good news
Trump the new messiah
Doesn’t like to lose
Politicians promise prosperity
It’s the name of the game
But people are not idiots
Life goes on the same
We listen for the genuine voice
See what others do
By their fruits you’ll know them
The same applies to you
