Recorded stories Jesus told
Were told for his own day;
But still their message nurtures those
Who wish to walk his way.
A vineyard owner had some work
That needed to be done;
They had two children who could help,
so went and asked each one.
The first one said, ‘I will not go’,
But had a change of mind;
The second said, ‘I’ll go at once’,
But later did decline.
All pious words are worse than wrong
If not lived out in deeds;
It is by actions of goodwill
We go where Jesus leads.
