Rhyming Redsong: Matthew 9.27-38 (Jesus heals blind men, a demon-possessed man; the harvest is plentiful but the workers few)

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men,
him, followed calling out, “O David’s Son,
have mercy on us!” When he’d gone inside,
they came to him; of them, this, he inquired,
“Believe, you, that your sight, I can reprise?”
“Yes, Lord,” how they replied. He touched their eyes
then, and said, “To your faith, accordingly,
let it be done to you”; then they could see.
“See that no one,” them, Jesus sternly warned
about this knows.” But they went to inform
the news about him, spread, that region, o’er.

While they were going out a man was brought
(a demon, him, possessed, he couldn’t talk)
to Jesus. When the demon, driven out,
the man who had been mute, some words, he spoke.
The crowd amazed, said “Naught like this has been,
before by any, here in Is’rael, seen.”

But this is how the Pharisees replied,
“it’s from the prince of demons he’s derived
the power to, the demons, exorcise.”

He went through all the towns and villages,
did Jesus, teaching in the synagogues,
the good news of the Kingdom, he would preach,
and healing every sickness and disease.
When he saw all the crowds, on them, he had
compassion, for, they, helpless and harassed,
like sheep without a shepherd, then, he said
to his disciples, “It is plentiful,
the harvest, but the workers for it, few;
therefore ask, of the harvest, the Lord, to
send workers out, his harvest field, into.”
