In light of Easter... Thank you Lord Jesus for dying on the cross for my
sins, and then returning to the right hand of the Father. This is a poem
kind of about Jesus' life and death.

He lived a life
Perfect and in truth,
And taught the Word
To all who listened.
He faced discrimination
From many to whom he spoke
For to hear that we were sinners
Was not a pleasant thing.
His fame grew to much larger size
And fear did strike the priests.
For when they got the chance
They arrested Him, took Him away.
That's what it comes down to.

He lived His life, perfect and in truth,
So how could this have been?
But in His perfection, His heart would love us,
Even as He faced His end.

He faced the Roman Empire,
And the world of Israel.
And ultimately in the end
It became His demise.
He carried his cross through the streets
And was beaten as He walked,
For this good man here who carried the cross
Would be crucified that day.
The nails were driven in his hands and feet
And upon His head placed a crown
A crown of thorns digging into his brow
As He hung up on Calvary.
That's what it comes down to.

He lived His life, perfect and in truth
So how could this have been?
For He hangs on the cross and He's crying out
Now while He faces His end.

He was punctured in the side by a spear,
Yet His work was already done.
Down came the cross and down came the man
Who preached of justice and love.
As His followers left and discouragement came
No one knew the real truth,
That our sins were there upon that man
And He died with them all as a gift.
He was buried in a tomb and locked away
For the perfect life He lived,
A punished man He would die
Because of His perfection.
That's what it comes down to.

He lived His life, perfect and in truth
So how could this have been?
For He was a good man who died
With no reason given for His end.

Yet three days later He rose from His grave
With holes in His hands and His feet.
A puncture wound in His side showed,
Yet still He walked again.
For on that day our Savior rose
From out of the buried tomb
His prophecy again fulfilled
And His perfect life returned.
He made His ascension up to the Father
And sits at the right hand of Him.
For the perfect man who walked the earth.
Was Son of God and savior of man.
That's what it comes down to.

He lived His life, perfect and in truth
And still He lives today.
For if in Him we all believe
Our sins will be washed away.

THE END
