take care of the sick – v3

Christ came for the fallen, the hurting
for the prisoners, the captives
yearning to be free
not to the healthy, the righteous
for those comfortable, well off.

We must cleave to the hurting
to those who are estranged
to take care of the sick
those who appear tired
struggling just to survive.

We are to heed, to follow
our Master’s example
to bring Him to the sick
those considered others
by people just like us.
