More than the Law

Authentic Faith
more than the law
not bound by tradition
false piety of human rules
living out authentic faith
caring for the wounded man
robbed on the Jericho Road

Going above and beyond
just as we are called to do
showing love, compassion
reaching out to our neighbor
getting our hands dirty
even loving our enemies
out on the Jericho Road
