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"
