Christ drove all of them out of the temple

Quite a disturbance, never before
all eyes upon him, hanging on each word
Christ shouting, “Get Out!”, at the top of his lungs
a whip of cords to chase them
the sacrificial animals, the money changers
all of the sellers, the merchant
Christ drove all of them out of the temple
the zeal of his love, an anguish at their actions
turning the temple into a market
driving them out, for the Father’s glory
