The Tortured God
Climbing up the hill with his great Cross
The tortured God recalls his childhood days
Now he faces death and total loss
Did Jesus fear his mission and its cost
Would humans ever learn to see his way
Climbing up the hill with a great Cross
Crucified, beheaded, killed by us
John the Baptist, Jesus, Jews have paid
Did Jesus fear his Mission and its cost?
How we love the baby, yet we’re lost
Was it ever true that we are saved
Climbing up the hills with our own cross?
Where is God’s great spirit, Holy Ghost
Alienated from the human race?
Did Jesus fear his Mission and its cost
Shall we ever see that Holy Face
Onto refugees it has been placed
Climbing up the hill like Sisyphus
He repeats his actions, feels his loss
