We'Re You There

Our Lord suffered so much many people don't know this They're thinking out of touch and so much do they miss Oh how our Lord was beaten, punched, spit upon the face But sin Jesus was defeating and how He showed Grace They tore off His clothes and kicking him to the ground Torture the Roman guard knows thus Jesus was bound One lash two lash three lash four, mocking His Name Soon our Lord's Back tore the Roman guard's finest game Nor would our Lord sleep as they tormented Him all night Just Ponder really deep Jesus being such a bloody sight But this was just the beginning His Blood would flow more Punishment for all the world sinning by The Lamb so pure Oh how they beat our Lord then made Him carry our cross Even pierced by a sword my emotions so violently tossed Because of why He did it, see, He did it, for me, and you Think of every tiny little bit and maybe you will see too The Romans’ scourging whip “had iron balls tied a few inches from the end of each leather thong on the whip. Sometimes, sharp sheep bones would be tied near the ends.” The metal weights served to cause serious bruising, or contusions, and the leather of the thongs cut into the skin. The sheep bones were also made to deepen the lacerations into the skin. After only a few lashes, the depths of the cuts would reach into muscle tissue.

Yes Joe Daniel, a King suffering that amount of torture and death for his servants At any time He could have called down Legions of Angels. When just one would have sufficed. But he loved us more. Take care and God Bless.
