WHEN IT COMES TO JESUS CHRIST

before He took his first breath 
they wanted Him dead 
A childhood full of ostracism
despair and dread 

I can only imagine the anguish 
He experienced in life 
when it comes to our Messiah 
Jesus the Christ 

wise beyond His years 
full of godly grace 
despite miracles He performed 
He was never truly embraced 

I can only imagine the anguish 
He experienced in life 
when it comes to our Messiah 
Jesus the Christ 

He lived by faith 
an uncompromising trust in God 
He lived as a minimalist 
yet a tremendous love He did impart 
He championed for the least 
He challenged those with the most 
He was God In the flesh 
the manifestation of the Holy Ghost 

I can only imagine the anguish
He experienced in life 
when it comes to our Messiah 
Jesus the Christ 

a teacher, a preacher 
ensconced with a holy mission 
The Son of Man, The Great I Am 
advancing the Great Commission 

I can only imagine the anguish
He experienced in life
when it comes to our Messiah 
Jesus the Christ 

He was denied, He was decried 
He was tried as a threat to the status quo 
the Prince of Peace 
who by His own Disciples was brought low 

wise beyond His years 
full of godly grace 
despite miracles performed
by the people never embraced 
a champion for the least 
He challenged those with the most 
Jesus
God In the flesh 
The manifestation of the Holy Ghost
