And Mark presents
Christ in obedient service
Who came from God
conveying God's own message,
Good news for men,
salvation and repentance.
He healed the sick,
preached to the poor and fed them;
Immediately blessed
one and then the next one
Although denied
even the merest leisure.
Then He inducted
the twelve to serve and sent them
To preach the
kingdom and magnify the blessing.
The word was good;
He spoke it in perfection:
Yet by this world
the favour was rejected
To demonstrate the
depths of man's perversion
In turning from the
Christ, God's ideal servant.
