Let Anyone who has ears [to hear] listen!
He said is more than once,
to try to get it into,
firmly rooted into,
our thick skulls,
That his lessons were there
available to all,
to all who had
ears to hear with.
But the harder part,
the salient part
The central issue,
where the law failed
remained, and does
yet even today
That is why the passages
all end with an exclamation point
Because we have the availability
We can be saved.
But to reap that harvest
We must listen,
not merely hear.
