Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews
"Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews."

Up Golgotha’s hill Jesus carried a cross,
to take upon himself all of mankind’s dross.
Thereby to be hung between two convicted thieves,
each Easter we hear the story His death leaves.
But this isn't where Jesus' story would stop,
the soldiers affixed a sign to the cross’ top.
Saying "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews,"
He willingly was paying all mankind's dues.
Among themselves, His garments, then we're parted,
and each Easter, Christians celebrate, brokenhearted.
Lots were cast by soldiers, for his seamless robe,
now this occasion is remembered around the globe.
