My son did no wrong
Yet they nailed him to a cross
Setting a guilty man free

My son did not protest
Even though
His punishment was unjust

He died between two men
Who deserved
Their punishment

Yet one of them
Was spared
Eternal retribution

He joined my son
On that dreary dark day
In the light of Paradise

Was this fair?
You might ask
Is it ever fair that the
Innocent die?

Or is it fair that
The guilty are set free?
No certainly not,
Yet it's a state of humanity

My son
Gave his life willingly
So all men could be set free

It did not matter what evil deeds they'd done
Forgiveness could then be their's
If they just called on my son

Is this fair?
You might ask
That a murderer be sat free
To live in heaven eternally?

Yes, afterall
This was the plan of Divinity

Amen!!  We are all His children after all.  He died for each and every one of us and knows no exception.  Nice write, Songbird.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Oh, you are surely inspired by the Holy Spirit to inspire us all with your wonderful gift of poetry! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
