The Suffering Of Jesus

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.
