classroom..
He used no subject outlines,
Kept no records, gave no grades,
And his only text was ancient and
well worn.....
4. His students were poor, the
lame, and the deaf, the
blind, the outcast his
method was the same with
all who came to hear and
learn....
5. He opened eyes with faith.....
He opened ears with simple
truth....
A love born of forgiveness.....
A gentle man, a humble man,
He asked and won no honors,
6. And yet this quiet teacher from the
hills of Galilee
Has fed the needs, fulfilled the
hopes…
And changed the lives of many
millions......
For what he taught heaven to earth
And revealed God’s heart to
humankind!
