Mocked Him

Mocked him,
Cursed him,
Spat upon him,
Poured their utmost scorn
upon him.
Nailed him,
Pierced him,
Wrong accused him,
Uncontent
till they had killed him –
       Dead!

Taught them,
Loved them,
Understood them,
Came from heaven
to regain them,
Saw them,
Heard them,
Free forgave them,
Life-blood from his heart
to save them –
       Bled!

“He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.”
     Psalm 103:10, NKJV
