as he took his last.
The final straw
on a lonely camel's back.
Remember him
and his sacrifice.
A burden we were to have
yet it was his life.
Given too much
for nothing in return.
God loves us
way more than we deserve.
Guilt should plague
and eat us from within.
Yet here we are
still bathing in our sin.
There is no other way
no chance to explain.
A baby boy
brought into this world.
Where there was pain
to which he took to his grave.
Ridiculed and dismayed
as he carried that cross.
The world didn't even notice
or feel the loss.
As God cried out
for his own son.
The sacrifice of the body
of the one.
As he prayed
for it to be different.
For there to be just one
other way.
Another form of pay
added to the bill.
The price of sin
was one of great length.
A ripped-up body
as he hung up there.
A crown of thorns
laid upon his head.
Yet he prayed despite
knowing he'd soon be dead.
Knowing his time
was soon to come.
And to his father
he would then return.
But he forgave those
who yelled out Murder!
For he was perfect
in every way.
A slaughtered lamb
stood on display.
His innocence he took
to the cross.
And even in his death
his purity was not lost.
For God gave his Son
for us all.
Death for our life
and to give us hope.
I just wish more knew
about the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
