Those tired, throbbing, sandaled feet Trudged many miles in desert heat; The Man of Sorrows tread for me Those dusty roads of Galilee. Those helping healing hands would find The piercing pain of humankind; That humble head bent oft in prayer Would feel a thorny crown placed there. Those shoulders broad would bear the weight Of all the world’s sick sin and hate; The Man of Sorrows prayed for me Intensely in Gethsemene. Great drops as blood fell from the brow Fell from the One who would endow Me with the best that He could give He gave His all that I could live. He stretched His arms out on a cross To cleanse me of my filth, my dross; The Man of Sorrows bled for me The sacrifice to set me free. The Lamb of God was slain for me To give me life eternally He rose again, did death defeat Because He lives, I'm now complete. I wish you all a happy, blessed Easter!

I made a few changes in this to smooth out the meter in a couple of spots. It had been quite awhile since I had read this and upon re-reading it I saw a couple of rough spots. Does this seem smoother now? Denise |

Yes, it flows smoothly. You know, sometimes it's hard for me to think of the pain Jesus endured and His death for us without getting tears in my eyes. Thank you for this gem.  sky I'm in charge, and I say question authority! |
