Walking in the shoes of a historical character.
Luther
My hammer in hand,
Many a change to demand,
A beat against the hail Mary,
A beat against the unjust clergy,
A beat against the greed defense,
And a beat against the penitence.
A beat against the Pope's glory,
A beat against the purgatory,
A beat against buying souls,
And a beat against those heaven tolls,
A beat against all selfish ways,
That's not how Christians spend their days.
Now,
A beat for the Holy Gospel,
A beat for doer of the impossible,
A beat for his mercy and grace,
And a beat to one day see his face.
Let's not mock his sacrifice,
It was Christ's blood that paid the price,
Through quiet taking of our fates,
He paved the way to heaven's gates,
What greater wealth could there be,
Than from sin's bondage to be free,
Rise up!
In Christ's Holy name, Amen
