A man stands on trial, his head crowned in thorns,

His body was beaten and his clothes all torn.

There was a roar through the crowd, "it's the King of all Jews,"

Most turned their head in disbelief, when they heard of the news.

Then others came and gathered to revel at this sight,

Where are all his followers and why won't they stand up and fight?

So there he was, carrying the weight of the cross, nobody but him,

But the weight of the cross meant nothing compared to the weight of all of man's sin.

So he staggered and crawled and finally made it to the top of the hill,

Now the crowd became restless and seemed ready for the kill.

But all I could think, how is this God's will?

I turned away as he is nailed to the cross and the air became still.

There he was raised as high as the heavens above,

At that moment I saw the meaning of sacrifice, compassion and everlasting love.

To leave no doubt, they plunged a spear in the side of his chest,

To my amazement he said, while he was gasping for breath-

"Please, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,

And let my blood shed today cover every Roman and Jew."

Then he was gone, died on the cross for all to see,

I stared into his eyes, then felt his soul inside of me.

As we brought him down gently and wrapped him in fresh linen,

I could not control my emotions, not knowing this was just the beginning.

He was placed in a tomb, a rock sealing his fate,

I thought the story was over, and Jesus was at Heaven's gate.

Everything was somber till the night after two,

Doubts ran through my mind, was he the Messiah, or just an ordinary Jew?

But on the third day I saw with my own eyes,

The rock was moved over to everyone's surprise.

"He's gone, He's gone" come and you will see,

The prophecies are true, his words are coming to be.

His followers all gathered from the furthest reaches of the land,

To discuss the King of all King's, and the Man above all men.

As I sat and I listened, some still had doubts and some fear,

Then came a voice filled with love for everyone to hear.

"Spread my message of sacrifice, death and resurrection across the land,

Do this and I promise at my side you will stand."

So I started a revolution with your Name as my shield,

All my faith is with Jesus, his word will not yield.

Many years have passed, it's time to be at your side,

My best friend and my savior, all my sins I confide.

Just call on his Name and this could be you,

Take it from me, just an ordinary Jew.
