5th Sunday after Epiphany Mark 1:29-39

Into this world came the Christ
    Immanuel
casting out evil
  which had for so long dominated the very life
    of all who lived and breathed
in this perfect creation
  now soiled
    for too long
      for anyone to remember
He came
  casting out and making whole
        again
  (help)
the people struggling to see
the other side
  of this existence
the other side
  into a world of what is
    from the beginning of time
Jesus came and healed
  (our eyes)
those who suffer
--what they need not suffer
that they may become
  that which they are
    and are called to be
As the hopeless encircled this power
      Christ
in hope
and felt the Power
  of God
    in
      that place
        (see)
in their lives
  to far removed from the perfection of the universe
    to know
  (the glory)
      that it is once more
          here
in this place
in this timeless moment
      within the limits of our lives
Here
With the sick and the poor and the despised and the lovely
Here
In a new way for all time
Changing the changeless lives
  (that is)
now
  (Christ)
