The Passion
They called it “The Passion”—
His passion for lost souls;
Crucified and murdered
For so called religious goals.
Christ’s passion for the hurting,
Tempest-tossed soul;
Sacrificed His earthly life;
Man’s eternity His goal.
Chorus
The Passion and the cross
Is a story to be told,
Until this world ends
And judgment unfolds.
A carpenter turned preacher
With no sword in hand
Was led to His death
By Judas’ evil band.
Taken in the evening
From Gethsemane’s garden;
Hung from a cross
That we may be pardoned.
To be cruelly beaten
Without human reason;
Mocked and spat on
In a prophetic season.
Made to wearily carry
His instrument of death;
A heavy wooden cross;
Laboring for breath.
Crucified with wood and nails,
The objects of His trade,
Because He preached His Father’s love;
His Passion was forbade.

He died for us on Calvary’s Hill
Fulfilling His Father’s will,
But this was not the whole of his part
To turn to the Father all man’s heart.
It all began with his birth in a cave
But did not end with the life that he gave.
He taught by the life that he had led
Even by the multitudes that He fed.
He rose again on the third day.
The price of death He did pay.
He taught us then and teaches us now
To love each other and to serve how?
With all our heart, strength and mind.
In serving others joy we’ll find.
This Easter season let us do our part
To show we’ve taken His lessons to heart.
Praise Him in word and in deed and in act
And let no one ever forget the fact.
He lived for us and lives for us still
So let us be about doing His will.
