The Tortured God

Climbing up the hill with his great Cross The tortured God recalls his childhood days Now he faces death and total loss Did Jesus fear his mission and its cost Would humans ever learn to see his way Climbing up the hill with a great Cross Crucified, beheaded, killed by us John the Baptist, Jesus, Jews have paid Did Jesus fear his Mission and its cost? How we love the baby, yet we’re lost Was it ever true that we are saved Climbing up the hills with our own cross? Where is God’s great spirit, Holy Ghost Alienated from the human race? Did Jesus fear his Mission and its cost Shall we ever see that Holy Face Onto refugees it has been placed Climbing up the hill like Sisyphus He repeats his actions, feels his loss
