Live For Him
He was born a prince in a dungeon
targeted and hunted by evil huntrs
he was rescued through the help of our porter
just because of the burden he was moulded to carry.
He grew in knowledge and in virtue in the temple
teaching and shocking the elders with his wisdom
because he was nutured with heavenly mik of love and purity
just to make him equiped to deliver .
He went to the apex of trials and temptation
where he was humbled to absorb more fuel,
he was tempted and tried by the deadly serpent
just to make him fall short of his glory.
He went about with the seed of compassion
reviving and strengthening the dead bones
even the lost sheep he sought, found and restored
just to redeem all from the taskmasters.
He was hated and despised by the wordly dust
they conspired and handcuffed him with offences
He was taken to the panel of lies and court of conspiracy
just to crucify his gentle soul without cause.
He was bruised and crushed for us
despised and forsaken on the cross
sealed and imprisoned in the dust
just to save us from the law of chaos.
He arose from the dungeon of shadows and shme
after he had conquered the wicked warder
and loosing the gates and chains of death and darkness
just to give us life eternal.
This story is hard to paint
a prince was humbled to give us the crown of glory
He was martyred to give us the gold of victory
would we not rather strive
just to live for him
