HIS gift A mothers view  He looked at me with pain drenched eyes How it stung to hear his agonised sighs No mother should see her son tortured so Nor see blood well then over flow His body marked so battered and bruised Those lies they shouted the words they used Taunting with words of ridicule Deriding him as some misguided fool I’d carried him under my heart, given birth Destiny’s child the saviour of earth I watched them all filled with hate Waiting until death open wide its gate Hardly believing what I saw was true Knowing he was doing all this for you People jeering and mocking him Those souls black and sick with sin  He told me he’d rise again very soon But I might as well cry for the moon My beautiful son lying cold and dead He’d not return no matter what he said They put him in a tomb laid him there Why did he have to die it was so unfair A week ago they’d welcomed him in Shouting hosanna long live the king I walked in the garden needed its peace Hoping my tears would ease or cease I felt there was a black hole in my heart Or my soul had been ripped wide apart A man said tell me why do you weep I said death has my son in its keep He’s not dead mother please look it’s me Then I saw my son, the man of destiny  My son is arisen he’s broken death’s chain Nothing will ever be the same again Sin can’t claim you he’s set you all free His divine blood bought you liberty Rejoice in the Lord sing out his name Bathe your soul in redemption’s flame This is the gift that HE brings for you The gift of salvation and eternal life too Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
