Still He Chose

Did you suppose it would be easy Wearing well these mortal clothes? Did you not fathom Father's words When this realm you freely chose? Now the world wills you to wonder If the trials were duly disclosed. No way to know before the flesh Trials wouldn't be as you supposed. Much is hidden from our earth eyes But faith can fill the voids to brim. No need to struggle in a muddle Deciphering designs limned by Him. Reflect rather on our elder Brother Who didn't doubt, didn't suppose. He perceived pain inexpressible And still He chose, still He Chose.
