Red Words
It was fortold that He would be
The one who man kind would need
The one who crushed the head
Of the the serpent of deceit.
He would be despised and not esteemed
A man of sorrow and aquainted with grief
Yet would never once opened His mouth
And would be slaughtered like a sheep.
His words are tender and filled with love
His message is from the one above
His Father said He was well pleased
Then His spirit came like a dove.
The blid could see, the deaf could hear again
The Legion of pigs drowned in Gardenes
He said let the children come to Him
And do not tell them they are forbidden
Soon, He was beaten, broken, and denied
The cock crowed, and His Rock cried
Thirty-nine lashes exposed His bone
Yet Rome found not even one lie.
The people spoke, and chose death
Instead of the innocent man painted red
He climbed skull mountain with only one to help
Carry the board to make His death bed
The hammer hit. One, two, three.
Large spikes in His wrists and feet.
They spit and laughed at His broken state
And mockingly, they called Him King.
Two thieves to the left and right
Mockingly told to save His life.
But the one who repented asked to be rememberd
The man said "You will be with me in paridise."
Soon He was drained. There was nothong left.
Except the water that flowed from the side of His chest.
"Truly He was the Son of God"
Were the words spoken by the leader of a hundred men.
The tomb was sealed. Romans watched all night
'Till the third day when a bright light
Came forth from the tomb.
It was Jesus! He is alive!
Now today, two millenia from that day.
Here I am. trying to trust and obey
The words that were spoken by Him
And with His blood, they were stained.
