Poem for Matthew 15.1-9

"Commandments of men"

A helpful measure when

You'd like to be counted better

by your own law's letter

"Wash your hands when you eat"

"Be careful of music with a beat"

"Don't dance or go with girls who do"

"Be neat-look clean-its all about you"

These laws in comparison are pale

to God's law which you fail

and fallen short of God's glory

everyone in the same category

When accusers come and point and blame

with the sinners-stake your claim

The pious work and wash and do their part

Jesus gives a brand new heart.
