Son Of God

Kings of the Earth, were you not told? Messiah must be born! And though His heart is good as gold, One day He stands forlorn... And eyes shall fall when blessed hopes fade, How can this be the Christ? For there He stands as one betrayed, Good Shepherd sacrificed! Behold the Man! His hands, His feet! Behold what Man has done! His mortal flesh to scourge and beat And yet... Behold God's Son! Jerusalem! Jerusalem! The Lamb of God is here! Passover Lamb, He dies for them... His life to volunteer... Oh, foolish kings, advised by pride, Though fear rules you supreme, You would not watch Him crucified, Nor share that awful dream, Nor bear one mark upon your backs To save another's soul, While on His cross no courage lacks, As He maintains control... For there He stays, no angels called, No drug to soothe the pain, As Mother Mary weeps appalled At every new blood stain... But grace prevails, one thief rejects And yet another prays, In paying Jesus Christ respects, The Saviour then repays... For Paradise is but God's grace, Forgiveness from a friend, A symbol for the Human Race, Before each sinner's end... Then final breaths came to the Lord, His work on Earth was done! And so today we stand assured In loving Christ, God's Son! For written ancient years ago Within both praise and psalm, His light would set the world aglow, Despite this present harm... Back from the prison Man calls Death, The Son of God must rise! Behold Jesus of Nazareth! God's King before your eyes! Denis Martindale, copyright, March 2014. The Easter poem is based upon the film called SON OF GOD. GOD TV and Revelation TV websites and their watch now details can be found on Google. Seek and ye shall find...
