Have you heard of Nicodemus?

A man of the Pharisees

Religious leader

Respected teacher

Came to Jesus at night

Showed his lack of insight

 

Rabbi we know you are from God

You do miracles by the power of God

Said Nicodemus the pharisee

Very sad, he couldn’t see

 

Jesus, the Son of Man,

Knows not what is (what’s) in a man

So did He tell him the truth

 

A man must be born again

To enter the kingdom of Heaven (God)

Said Jesus the Teacher

To Nicodemus the teacher

 

So surprised was he!

Oh how can this (it) be!

Nicodemus was he, a pharisee

 

Jesus answered

For God so loved the world

 

So changed was Nicodemus

By the words of Jesus

 

That visit left on him a mark

So visible was it, lo and hark,

His own colleagues he reminds

The law and Jesus he defends
