outside the dreary city walls,
atop a creepy hill,
a hoard of people ranted,
as the crowd grew larger still.
as the blistering wind blew strongly,
and the dust began to rise,
there hung a bloody carpenter,
right before their eyes.
HIS wounds revealed places,
where HE had been whipped,
and the soldiers cast lots,
for HIS clothes that were stripped.
spikes pierced HIS hands,
and severed muscles in HIS feet,
causing pain to flood HIS body,
while being ravished by the scorching heat.
a mocking crown of thorns
were thrust upon HIS head,
causing many deep gashes,
that streamed blood bright red.
as the blood and tears,
began to drip from HIS chin,
HIS pure soul was intruded,
by each of our sins.
as HE heard the taunting crowd,
HIS heart filled with hurt,
while HIS mother knelt below HIM,
in the blood-stained dirt.
then an eerie darkness crept in,
and fully engulfed all the light,
and for three hours, the day,
became as dark as night.
“it is finished”,
were the last words HE said,
HE then exhaled a labored breathe,
closed HIS eyes, then was dead.
beaten and fastened,
to a splintery cross,
HE gave HIS life,
for the hopelessly lost.
a perfect sacrifice,
sent from the LORD above,
this righteous gift given,
for man, through HIS love.
the crucifixion HE endured,
was massive and great,
and yet HE willfully died,
for all our sake!
all of this brutal torturing,
slowing came to pass,
so that the prophesies of old,
would come true at last.
HIS death was determined,
before time began,
an unfailing plot fashioned,
by GOD’s own hands.
