The Lawyer and The Farmer
A lawyer and a farmer met one day upon a hill
Where both had been invited to see prophesy fulfilled
The lawyer in his finest wear for all the folks to see
The farmer in his humble garb with soiled and dirty knees
The lawyer stood there watching as the Sacrifice was made
Assured by his presumption that the Price was fully paid
For crimes that were reported that this criminal performed
By those who claimed as witnesses that they had been informed
Were heinous in their nature quite despicable to see
That One Who was a simple man should claim divinity
Assuming He could speak the truth offending those at hand
Who claimed by letters by their names to have that right to stand
In judgement of their brethren who presumed that they could be
Directly in connection with God's perfect purity
Who had no education preparation or acclaim
By worldly institutions that provided them the same
While kneeling there beside him this poor farmer was confused
How One so pure and holy could be horribly abused
Who never spoke an unkind word or put another down
But always lifted others up from where their souls were found
With words of His encouragement that led to Godly praise
As from their weak and feebleness His power of love would raise
Them to a place so few had been to feel the might of God
That gave them strength and courage in the path that they must trod
While still in sojourn on this earth as pilgrims for the realm
Where peace and love and perfect joy are sure to overwhelm
The ones who in humility by God could plainly see
What that poor farmer saw that day right there on bended knee
For he could see his Maker Who created all he knew
Who by His death inspired life the way his seeds would do
And who by resurrection would give promise of the day
When He would come in glory to wipe sin and death away
And all who humbly knew Him all who laid on Him their all
Could know with perfect confidence He'd always hear their call
And answer them no matter what their place in life might be
For by God's grace He proved His love that day on Calvary
Luke 8:4-15; John 7:11-18
