Title: THE SUFFERING OF JESUS
Post by: verseode on June 30, 2008, 01:15:01 AM

            

            Born into a world of anger
            The rich and greedy ran
            You came to help the leper
            The poorest kind of man
            Brought light into the darkness
            And lived a simple life
            You suffered, oh so greatly
            In Your walk of toil and strife.
            
            Upset the laws of hypocrites
            The pharisees and their kind
            And taught about The Father
            To people who were blind
            You ridiculed the system
            By changing all the rules
            Angering the mighty
            Demoting them to fools.

            No wonder they got angry
            And plotted out Your death
            Searching for a loophole
            So they could cut Your breath
            Then they finally got You
            Betrayed by Judas, friend
            It brought about a promise
            That You kept until the end.


            The agonizing, pain filled walk
            To where Your victory lay
            Was made for us and everyone
            Whose price You want to pay
            Defeating death and satan
            We need no longer fear
            You are our intercessor
            With the Father we hold dear.

            So thank You, dear Lord Jesus
            For all You've done for me
            I'm with You for a lifetime
            Past that, ETERNITY.
