I Thirst
He never asked for anything
When they nailed Him to the tree
His only crime was stepping through time
To set the whole world free
He made the moon and all the stars
Then hung them in the sky
The one true Light that shined so bright
Would close His eyes and die
He made the flowers and all the trees
But one became the cross
The dogwood tree would forever be
The tree that brought our loss
He made the rivers and all the seas
But the thing I hate the worst
Before He died the Savior cried
These words, He said, "I Thirst"
