Poetry
Like a sheep being slaughtered;
He was led to the courtroom.
Quiet, he kept his mouth locked.
No word echoed out.
As a criminal in the high court;
False accusations were laid on him,
Though no black mark was on him.
They turned fiery faces on him.
Like a slave in the land of the unknowns;
They lashed at him all over.
Blood oozed out like spring water.
He said no word; he kept quiet.
A crown of thorns was laid on his head.
A scarlet robe put on him.
Saliva was spit to his face.
He said no word; he kept quiet.
There the hardhearted Jews shouted.
Calling for his instant crucifixion.
No word came from his mouth.
He kept quiet: my Lord.
With the cross on his shoulders;
They led him to Golgotha.
Slowly as a sheep my Lord went
He said no word.
There at Golgotha they crucified him;
Flanked by two thieves on his sides.
A shameful death, my Lord, what a pity?
‘My Lord, why hast thou forsaken me’ he shouted.
Glory and honour be unto thee.
‘It is finished’ he breathed his last,
At the cross at Calvary;
Surrounded by scores of scornful people.
He died for you and me.
Honour be to you Jesus Christ.
You brought unforgettable mercy to me.
You brought great healing.
Iniquities and transgressions were forgiven.
I am now a Son of God.
Glory and honour be unto you.
