The Soul
Herod had John the Baptist beheaded
But Herod did not know
Neither did Herodias his wife
He could not behead a man’s soul
Pilate washed his hands of Jesus
He had Jesus beaten then crucified
Pilate did not know
He could not crucify a man’s soul
The Leaders of Israel had His tomb’s entrance guarded with an immovable stone and soldiers but they did not know
That Jesus’ soul could not be held captive
