Quip's Corner - I Remember This Man

I remember this man, of carpenter trade, this man of whom you speak
With love of God in act and word, is this the man you seek?

I saw this man reach out a hand and caused the mute to talk
With mud to eyes, the blind found sight, and blessed, he, the lame to walk

I heard this man speak of a loving father, to whom he would obey
Devotion to the meek and widowed, for the children, he wept and prayed

I touched this man, his hem I grazed; but knew, he, and looked to see
My sins, forgiven, in faith unblemished, his command, rise and follow me

I felt this man, his words of teaching, pierced deep, my soul did burn
Hungered for, and with deep desire, to change, my heart did yearn

I cried for this man, his body scourged, denied, he was left alone
With perfect love, his calling complete, our father brought him home

I know this man, my savior and redeemer, whose life, to me, he gave
An example to all, the keys to heaven, through choice, my soul was saved

I remember this man, of carpenter trade, this man of whom you speak
With love of God in act and word, is this the man you seek?
