Matthew 4:12-23 Jesus Begins to Preach

all that was foretold in the scriptures

the Messiah

the place

the people

came together

and the words rang out

and change rippled through the land

(repent)

As the people began to hear the word

And began to realize the joy

(the Kingdom)

That was meant from the beginning of time

(is near)

For all people

Some who heard dropped what they we doing

(fishers)

And followed

Change rippling through the land

(of men and women)

Leaving behind centuries of sameness

And security

And allowed to unfold before them

            Change

                        Rippling through the land

And began to realize the joy before them

            The kingdom

                        Is near

That was for all people

To follow

From the beginning of time
