Born on a silent
night, in a stable manger
Immaculately conceived,
he came here as a stranger
He entered the world
in a body of a man,
The King of Kings
known as the great “I AM”
Wise men came bearing
frankincense, gold and myrrh
Small tokens for the
pains he was destined to endure
For the son of God,
the greatest gift he would give
To one day die, so
that mankind may live
He performed miracles
to reveal a nature divine
He walked on water,
and then turned it to wine
He healed the sick,
raised men from the dead
Fed 5000 people with
a mere five loaves of bread
For three years, he spoke:
love thy neighbor as they self
Give Caesar what is
Caesar’s, for God is the greatest wealth
For this is a world of
sin, a land of never-ending strife
And he the only
escape, the way-the truth-and the life
His people whom he
loved plotted to have him killed
A prophesied death, so
that the will of God be fulfilled
The only man without
sin, the perfect sacrificial lamb
Freedom from evil, so
that man may no longer be damned
They beat him,
whipped him and treated him with vile scorn
As he lay near dead,
they placed on his head a crown of thorns
Then on his bloodied
back they placed a heavy wooden cross
To carry up the hill of
Calvary, where his life would be lost
Thunder shed tears, lightning cried; as he
stood there crucified
Forsaken by God, he
tearfully sighed, looked up and then he slowly died
Covered in blood,
covered in sin, covered in man’s death sentence
Opened man’s soul;
opened man’s mind; opened up man’s repentance
For the dark brooding
original sin of Adam and Eve was gone,
He bore all man’s
depravity on that wooden crucifix he died on
And drenched mankind
with his cleansing blood of bless
Washing away mankind’s
sins for the wages of sin is death
They cloaked and
covered his body, and in a somber tomb he lay
For the perfect beloved
son of God died that Good Friday
Fear not, however, for
on the third day death refrained from repose
Because on that third
day, in all God’s glory, Jesus Christ arose
Jesus Christ came to
this earth with a mission to save
He loved man such
much that he bore man’s grave
And died for man on a
cross on the hill of Calvary
And rose on the third
day so that man may be free
Accept him in the deepest
bosom of your soul and heart
The world is maddening
chaos, with him it is beautiful art
And he’ll restore you
from the grasp of sin’s replevin
So that one day, you’ll
live with him in the skies of heaven
