kneeling before Jesus – v7

the synagogue leader

ignoring risk, consequence,

for his daughter

risking his reputation

faith more than fear

kneeling before Jesus

calling him to heal her

to come to his daughter

dying in her bed

risking his reputation

his position, his standing

but kneeling before Jesus

to heal his daughter’s illness

courageous submission

love over position

faith more than fear

coming to Jesus, the Christ,

his plea did He hear

as he was kneeling before Jesus
