Son of God

(07/01/11 God had a plan- so he made his son a man He knew his son would have to be the sacrificial lamb So that this world could understand. JESUS offered his life so that the world could be free He offered his life for you and me. He knew that his life would be short lived And come to an end. Yet he preached his fathers words to foe and friend. He knew deep inside his soul That someday , the world he would hold And of this -he was told. So much love he had inside And this love he could not hide. As he preached the word of God He described his earthly mission. The lord had appointed him to preach The gospel to the poor, the rich , the destitute And anyone who would listen. His father had told him that he had healing hands And could heal people through out the land. To be able to cure the blind, the lame, and the possessed These were the biggest tests. Then the day finally came that they would take him away Accused by his so called peers, under the screams Laughter and jeers. Stripped and whipped and crowned with thorns And blood running down his face This was the ultimate disgrace For a man who was said to be a king That he was stripped of every thing. Although the cross he carried was made of wood It is something that is still not understood. That we must all carry a cross in this life This is our ultimate sacrifice.
