A PROPHET IS RECEIVED BUT IN HIS TOWN

Come let us proceed to watch
To see the son of Joseph the Carpenter
Joseph is father we know quite well
And his weaknesses not strange to us
Nor his frailties in life obscure to us
Then what good does his son got to offer
Just like that the despised Him
They rejected and refused the truth
As it was been told from the past
A prophet is received but in His town.

On a wondrous day like this
He steadfastly approached His own city
Jerusalem the bedrock of Israel
To bind the broken in heart
And to bring healing to their sick
To put an end to the devil’s enterprises
Declaring the acceptable year of the Lord with joy
But His own refused and rejected Him
No matter how much He loves them because
A prophet is received but in His own town.
