Seeking to Save Christ – v2

Seeking to save Jesus
perhaps even from himself
from his speech, his witness
from the forces against him

His mother, his family
rushing to him,
where he was preaching
trying to get through the crowds
to keep him from going too far
to keep him from harm

The words he spoke dangerous
crowds getting too large
those in power at the gate
hungry lions in the crowd
