Dear Israel Folau, could you please read this my letter.
Though rich and famous, and probably know better.
You see I believe the bible, and are convinced it is true.
Dear Israel, I am sure you are convinced , just as I am too.
So I have been thinking about all that has been said.
What Christ would have said, about this whole issue instead?
I do recall a similar situation that Jesus had to face.
Her accusers caught this woman, and had an infallible case.
Israel, Jesus turned the spotlight off the woman don’t you see?
God’s glaring spotlight now turned squarely on just you and me.
Her faults no longer my biggest concern, or indeed worry.
So much in this life lived, I now admit, I feel need to say sorry.
Sorry to God, and sorry to all those people I have not cared for.
If I had to front up to, all my faults, I’d be shaken to the core.
For not understanding people who were born a different way.
Vision so limited, my knowledge so learnt. What is really okay?
Dear Israel, I know that it is true that our God demands justice.
If you and I stood in His courtroom , sorry just would not suffice.
The good news, as hard as it might be for us “sinners” to believe.
Our God does not judge as we do, hard as it may be to conceive.
Otherwise not one of us would be able to escape your fiery hell.
That Jesus paid the price, justice has been done, is the story tell.
Dear Israel, please use your fame and fortune more wisely is my plea.
You will be amazed how our loving God can change the world we see.
You are famous now, but he will use each one of us in a special way.
To live in this world of diversity, and to say to each other, you’re okay.
