The Galilean God -A reflection for Easter

He walked beside these waters
And climbed these gentle hills
He lived within a family
And fashioned things in wood
This Galilean God

He strode upon Gennesseret
And stilled the crashing storm
He healed the blind and leper
And restored the deaf and mute
This Galilean God

The outcast and the harlot
He touched along the way
The fallen and forgotten
And the children came to play
With this Galilean God

He faced the opposition
And confronted evil men
He went up to Jerusalem
To fulfil the Father’s will
This Galilean God

History records it
That He hung upon a tree
He suffered and He died there
For all the world to see
My Galilean God

He rose from death triumphant
He lives and lives to reign
The Saviour and the victor
Of sin and death and pain
The Galilean God
