The Redistribution of Wealth

Not What Would Jesus Do
but what he did for us
the debate on the redistribution of wealth
answered on the cross

Even before the Passion
the decision to descend from above
though he was rich he became poor
becoming flesh like us

Coming down so others may be rich
blessed by freedom, communion
able to be reconciled to God
blessed by Christ’s true teachings

Humble, a servant, giving his all
submitting his will to God
offering himself, a sacrifice for us
taking our sin to the cross

Freed of sin, the wages of death
given new life in Christ
but called to be his disciples
to follow his path
to submit our all to God
