The Man

A man acquainted with sorrows and grief be it then was bruised for our relief the ones ruling over them kept them in pain but struck was he so we might Life regain All like sheep have wandered astray but he announced to the crowds Gods new day no violence could be found in his actions done he spoke of peace in the kingdom to come He fed the hungry and gave to the poor tender of heart and kind to his core oppressed was he and sore afflicted falsely accused by traditionalists indicted A quiet man who spoke of verity taught of loving kindness and mercies charity the man he was did the broken draw in every point did he fulfill Gods Law The works of his hands righteous and clean his judgment was pure and never mean a candle whose light has dispelled the dark his praise for his Father did all his works mark Jehovah pronounced this the Son he approved to him was beloved and the World reproved no harm could be found in his heart or hand those who follow him will the same stance stand He sought not mens praise or their vainglory yet acquired Gods love but by man treated poorly unlike the kings who Lord over their kin washed the feet of disciples those lower than him Did demonstrate he how to walk Truths Way by example showed traits his disciples display with accurate judgment in all that he did to become like him to his disciples he bid We are not worthy of God to approve if we do not from our lives violence remove those who hate and practice manslaughter cannot become his Son or his daughter To become like him the Truth you must drink it must cleanse from you what the world think upon his teaching consume as your bread without his life in you , you are still dead.. sources Ps 18 , Is 53 and the gospels COPYRIGHT © 2010 C Michael Miller
