The Nazarene

 

And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

Matthew 2:23

He was despised

He was rejected

He was hated

     by those He came to save

          Jesus the Nazarene

He was the Branch

out of Jesse

sprung up to lead

     those who cut Him off

          Jesus the Nazarene

He lived in Galilee

town of Nazareth

a place maligned

     no one expected good from

          Jesus the Nazarene

But out of Nazareth

came the Messiah

the Son of God

     Who died and rose again our Savior

          Jesus the Nazarene

And I love Him

though still despised

yet my Great Savior

     Conqueror of death and the grave

          Jesus the Nazarene
