If I Was Jesus

Here's something we might think about
and something to discuss -
if born, we were, in Zero Year
and grew up as Jesus...
---
If I was Jesus would I heal
the blind so they could see?
Or would I joke when stumbled they
and would I laughing be?

If I was Jesus would I heal
a crippled, withered hand?
Or would I buy some sandals new
and brand new clothes demand?

If I was Jesus would I feed
five thousand; fish and bread?
Or would I scold them, call them fools
and stuff myself instead?

If I was Jesus would I pray
for each and every one?
Or would I brag and boast a lot
of all that I had done?

If I was Jesus would I die
on cross set up for me?
Or would I show them who I was
and walk away painfree?

If I was Jesus would I rise
to Heaven up above?
Or would I store up treasures here
because I money love?

If I was Jesus would I care
for people still today?
Or would I care for only me?
What would I do and say?
