Can You Feel It?

Can you see it? Can you feel it? The pain and the suffering Can you hear it? Can you feel it? The agony and the screaming We all exclaimed at the top of our lungs, Stay down! Stay down! Its not worth it But no, He kept getting back up With every piece of glass that pierced His skin With every crack of that whip With tears dripping down His cheeks He yelled out in pain But never quit. Teary-eyed we yelled Please just stay down But no, He kept getting back up Can you see it? Can you feel it? The love and determination Though we forsaked Though we denied Though we sinned He still took every whip, Every insult, every tongue lashing, Every spit in the face, Every accusation On one knee with blood dripping In agonizing pain, He lifted His heavy head And looked into the eyes of every person There who was doing the unimaginable to Him And whispered the three most powerful words A person can ever say: I LOVE YOU!
