Louise Nelson Poet Ballad

When I think about Jesus

when I think about Jesus and all that He has done 
and how His blood down Mount Calvary did run 
when I think about Jesus and His sacrifice
and how for our sins He gave over His life

I cry tears of sorrow
I cry tears of shame
I cry for this selfless Son of God 
I cry over His pain 

when I think about Jesus born in a manger, 
in constant danger, living a life of poverty 
always ostracized, yet still recognized 
for His spiritual ministry 

I cry tears of sorrow 
I cry tears of shame 
I cry for this selfless Son of God.
I cry over His pain 

His humility, His generosity 
and His prophetic Beatitudes 
His salvation, His righteousness 
and His redemptive attitude 
His sole purpose for even existing 
to absolve us of the sins we're committing 

He was played, betrayed and maliciously flayed 
yet on that cross for us, Jesus still prayed 

I cry tears of sorrow 
I cry tears of shame 
I cry for this selfish Son of God 
I cry over His pain 

When I think about Jesus 
I now checked my behavior 
to do my best, to be my best 
simply because He's my Savior 

I still cry tears of sorrow 
I still cry tears of shame 
I still cry for this selfless Son of God 
I will forever cry over His pain
