Sinner to Saint Luke 5:27-32
The most hated of men in days of old And also today if the truth is told Are those who sit with power of the state Collecting taxes where people congregate
In guarded booths at the city gate Often imposing an unfair rate. Now of these despised and hated men Jesus called Levi to join His den
Straight way he forsook his wicked ways And joined the party �?O happy days But at his inaugural welcome feast The Pharisees looked down their noses at this the least
They queried Jesus why He should eat With dreadful sinners and this dead-beat He gave to them this amazing reply Saying the doctor comes for those who cry
And when Levi with Jesus sought His peace He rose to the disciple whose words don’t cease To give God the glory in the book he wrote Levi and Matthew are one please note.
William Alexander Smith
