Galilee To Golgotha

Galilee to Golgotha He came as a Babe in a lowly manger In Bethlehem from Galilee Annals of time had prophesied Messiah would come to set man free Not through the realms of royalty But by meager and modest means Free from pollution of humanity Untainted by mankind's genes As a youth, He marveled the elite When in the temple, He appeared Rulers who once felt secure Now, their position - - they feared Hostility and fury, soon would follow As law and tradition, He did negate When their hierarchy was challenged They knew their position, it did abate Evil forces became more intense Until "away with Him," they cried "We'll not have Him rule over us" For sure, He must be crucified A rugged cross on Golgotha's hill, There, they proclaimed His demise But from the tomb, He arose to reign Soon, He ascended into the skies "I will return," He did declare Only then will true peace prevail Mine own, with Me shall be secure Evil forces, will no more assail Colan L Hiatt = 11-24-15 © All Rights Reserved
