So many people, flawed and faulted

So many people, flawed and faulted,
had come to Christ in hope of health,
to be restored, to be accepted,
was worth much more to them than wealth.

Yet grace was free, as was forgiveness,
God does not trade in things of need,
but others said that Christ offended
and undermined their precious creed.
