Absurd?

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Of Caesar’s conquests on the earth–
there is no doubt that they occurred;
and Jesus Christ defeated death –
but some think that must be absurd.

And yet the evidence is great
for Caesar, and Christ Jesus, too,
and ‘BC*’ written records state
what Christ was coming here to do.

Do you have reason to respond    
the testimonies are untrue?
and that there is no power beyond
this world that you can feel and view?

What really does seem quite absurd
is not to read, investigate
the claims and offer once they’re heard:
examine and evaluate.

*BC=Before Christ, ie before he was born, detailed announcements were made, and recorded, and believed!

Tune: LM eg Tallis’ canon, tune of ‘Glory to Thee, my God, this night for all the blessings of the light’
