Galilee To Golgotha
Galilee to Golgotha
He came as a Babe in a lowly manger
In Bethlehem from Galilee
Annals of time had prophesied
Messiah would come to set man free
Not through the realms of royalty
But by meager and modest means
Free from pollution of humanity
Untainted by mankind's genes
As a youth, He marveled the elite
When in the temple, He appeared
Rulers who once felt secure
Now, their position - - they feared
Hostility and fury, soon would follow
As law and tradition, He did negate
When their hierarchy was challenged
They knew their position, it did abate
Evil forces became more intense
Until "away with Him," they cried
"We'll not have Him rule over us"
For sure, He must be crucified
A rugged cross on Golgotha's hill,
There, they proclaimed His demise
But from the tomb, He arose to reign
Soon, He ascended into the skies
"I will return," He did declare
Only then will true peace prevail
Mine own, with Me shall be secure
Evil forces, will no more assail
