GO BACK TO WERE IT ALL BEGINS

AS I JOURNEY BACK THROUGH THE YEARS
NOT KNOWING WHAT I WILLL FIND
CLOSING MY EYES AND ASKING THE LORD
"SEND ME BACK TO YOUR SON'S TIME"

THERE I STOOD IN A COLD DARK PRISON
SCREAMS AND MOANS COMING FROM ALL AROUND
YET THERE I SAW ONE MAN BEING TORTURED
NOT CRYING OUT NOT MAKING A SOUND

I SAW A CROWN OF THORNS IN HIS HAIR
THAT CAUSED BLOOD TO DRIP FROM HIS HEAD
A WHIP BEING CRACKED TO BREAK HIS SKIN
STILL NOT ONE WORD CRIED OUT OR SAID

THE SOLIDERS WERE LAUGHING AND TAUNTING
OH LOOK HERE IS THE KING OF ALL MEN
EVEN THROUGH ALL THIS THE MAN BOWED HIS HEAD
SILENTLY SAYING"FATHER FORGIVE THEM THEIR SIN"

OTHER SOLIDERS WERE POUNDING NAILS INTO A TREE
THAT MADE A PERFECT CROSS
BUT THE MAN REMAINED SILENT STILL
KNOWING IT WAS HIS LIFE THAT WOULD BE LOST

MY BODY ACHED WITH PAIN AT WHAT I SAW
MY EYES CRIED TEARS FOR NO MERCY WAS SEEN
YET THIS MAN STOOD AND ENDURED IT ALL
UNSPEAKABLE TORURES SO CRUEL AND MEAN

NEXT THE GAURDS DRUG HIM OUT TO THE STREETS
I FOLLOWED WITH SUCH HURT AND SADNESS IN MY HEART
THERE THEY PLACED THIS CROSS UPON HIS BACK
AS HIS JOURNEY TO CALVERY WAS ABOUT TO START

EACH STEP HE TOOK I TOOK WITH HIM
SAYING"WHY WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE"
YET WHEN JESUS FELL FOR THE THIRD TIME
HE TURNED LOOKED AND SAID"HE WAS DOING THIS FOR ME"

WHEN THE SOLIDERS REACHED THE HILL
THEY PLACED JESUS AND THE CROSS DOWN
HAMMERING NAILS THROUGH HIS HANDS AND FEET
OH LORD,YOUR SON NEVER MADE A SOUND

HANGING THERE BETWEEN TO THIEVES
JESUS CALLED TO HIS FATHER "WHY FORSAKE ME"
THE SKIES GREW DARK AND THE HEAVEN'S RUMBLED
I FELL TO MY KNEES REALIZING JESUS DIED TO SET ME FREE

OH JESUS WHAT YOU GAVE FOR ME
I CAN NOT GIVE BACK OR REPLACE
BUT I CAN LOVE YOU AND GIVE YOU HONOR
AND EACH DAY I CAN COME TO SEEK YOUR FACE

SO MAYBE WE ALL NEED TO CLOSE OUR EYES
AND GO BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGINS
TO REMEMBER ALL THAT JESUS GAVE
TO FREE US FROM OUR SINS

CAN WE ALL START TODAY
TO LIVE A LIFE FULL OF LOVE,PEACE AND CARE
FOR JESUS DIED TO OPEN THE DOORS OF HEAVEN
FORGIVING OUR SINS AND GIVING US AN ETERNITY TO SHARE

ROSE MARY,
This is yet another very picturesque account of the singular most important event in the history of mankind, and you have captured it well and given good emphasis.
Thank You, David

Dear Rose Mary; You are so right that we all need to go back in time and remember the price He paid for us. Well written too. Ellie
