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"
