We remember the day he came
He was not like us
He came covered in dust
Without possessions, seeking for us

"Peace be with you
May I stay for I have traveled
A long way without rest
Is there any way I may serve you in return?"

There was no room except with the sick
Unfit for a guest

"Be gone, stranger
We have no room for you"

His presence was an omen
Whether good or bad, we knew not which

When dawn arrived, we heard his voice
Speaking loud to all of those inside
About his God, who he called Christ
Both man and God, for sinners died

"What is this blasphemy?"

To our shock, he touched the lame
In the name of his Christ, they began to walk
All the lepers' spots were clean
No more suffering to be seen
He rose and smiled, saying to us
"I hope this service will suffice"

Why would anyone choose to stay with us
We have nothing here, only sorrows born by us
Generation after generation, we cursed
Bearing the sins of our ancestors before us

Our priests commanded him to leave
They feared the beast will be displeased
With the town's display of disloyalty
"Take your Christ and leave!"

He then said, "His power is gone
For Christ came down to save from sin and death
This demon that you've served so long
Cares not for you; he desires you to fear
But God shows love in doing this
He sent His Son to undo this curse"
