The God-man

By joyismine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The blood of God the Son was shed On Calvary's cruel tree; His form was marred beyond belief For all the world to see; He was mocked by wicked men, In utmost degradation, Who rejected, slandered, conspired and lied To malign his reputation. A crown of thorns caused blood to course In streams upon his face And mingled with the sweat and tears Shed for the fallen human race. His flesh was torn and mangled in furrowed bloody strips; His visage robbed of human form by barbaric torturous whips. He could have summoned all heavens power To put the travesty to an end; Exhault Him on His rightful throne, leaving mankind dead in sin. But as the Lamb He bore the sin of all the souls of man To satisfy the Holiness of the Father in His eternal plan. He saw the travail of His soul And He was satisfied with His redemption of mankind, As on the cross He died. But in three days from borrowed grave He rose in victory; For He met the foe at home in Hell And dispossessed him of his key. He overcame Satan, death and the grave to reconcile God and man; For He alone was worthy, Son of God and son of man. Written December 11th, 2001 © on Dec 10 2001 03:52 PM PST   0 • 13
