The Road To Golgotha

The route is long  
and my destination is far ,
The hot white sun,
is beating on me ten times harder than before .

I stumble and I fall, 
yet again I rise because
the road to golgotha is worth the fight .

They want to slaughter me just like a lamb
yet I am willing to pay for the soul of man 
My sacrifice will not go in vain 
because the road to golgotha is worth that pain .

They nailed me to a tree .
They stripped me bare for all to see 
but I will take all that comes to me 
because my redemption will set man free.

You will one day see the price I paid 
My blood will wash and set you free
You will say that the road to 
Golgotha was worth it for me .

How sweetly you have added worth and meaning to the tortuous and rugged journey to Golgotha !
