For He So Loved the World

Events leading, up to the sacrifice, had to, proceed, 
forward, and Jesus knew, the outcome, before all began.
In order, for all those, whom sin, to be saved,
he realized, even thou afraid, he couldn't, never of ran.

As hard, and difficult, as the destiny, was for him,
God's will, had to continue, forth into play.
Jesus out of love, taught, and shown the truth,
announcing through him, God was the only way.

Mocked, ridiculed, and condemned, he was to death,
nailed to a cross, by his hands, and his feet, down straight through.
Yet he went on to pray, for us all, whom there, and not there,
stating," Forgive them father, for they, know not what they do."

Then wrapped, was he in a cloth, placed in a tomb,
there his body, in darkness, lay there directly, from inside.
Miraculously witnessed, as the tomb, was then, left opened,
as he arisen, toward heaven, to our father, sitting beside.

Absolutely what was seen, could of, never been denied,
for the lives, lead by all, began to truly unfurl.
God for the sake, of us all, the children involved,
gave up his only son, for he, so loved the world.
