James 2:5       New English Translation

5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?

All of it

Poor and needy and all alone so Jesus came to save

The rich and puffy and self-contained Jesus put to shame

The rebellious and rowdy, so far gone, Jesus took the blame

The sophisticated and good, as they could, Jesus kept His Name

Deprived, vile and filthy Jesus loves to cleanse

Already good and acceptable, how could Jesus bless?

Imprisoned, enslaved and worthless, Jesus will give you rest

Riding high in power and strength, you don’t need Jesus’ best
