Those Words In Red

Have you looked at them lately
Those words in red?
The beloved words
That Jesus said
The words He spoke
Before He cried
It is finished, it is finished
And then He died…

Or have you chosen the novel
Or the magazine
Filled with gossip
On some Hollywood scene
Do you prefer the paper
Full of daily news
Choosing to give
Some reporter his dues?

Have you looked at them lately
The most precious words
That have ever been uttered
On the face of the earth
Have you read them recently
The words Jesus said?
Invaluable treasure
Written in red
