You Were On His Mind

The night before Jesus was crucified
in the Garden of Gethsemane
He wept uncontrollably and sweat drops of blood
from being in such agony

The intense anguish and sorrow Jesus felt
as blood dripped down to the ground
He knew in detail the events that were to follow
and of all the lost souls that had to be found

betrayed by one of His very own disciples
soon after the trials would begin
Although he had never done an act of evil
he would be punished for all of our sin

The crowd would gather yelling crucify!
as he was handed the sentence of death
not once did he try to repeal his innocence
knowing shorty he would be taking his last breath 

Disfigured beyond that of any man
was the torture that our Lord bestowed
beaten worst then an animal he laid,
in a puddle of blood from his wounds that flowed
                                                 
What was it that he was thinking 
as they drove the nails deep into his hands and feet
what kept him from calling angles to help him
was it the blood that he choked on,
as he could barely speak?

It was the love he had for all of humanity
the lost , the broken and all of mankind
he was thinking about how much he loved 
each and every one of us,
cause it was you that was on his mind...
