got this from my
churchmate jen's blog. just wana share this to you. :)
we rode into town the other day
just me and my daddy.
he said i'd finally reach that age
and i could ride next to him on a horse
that of course was not quite as wide.
we heard a crowd of people shouting
and so we stopped to find out why
and there was that man that my dad said he loved
but today there was fear in his eyes.
so i said, "daddy, why are they screaming?
why are the faces of some of them beaming?
why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
i'll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows.
daddy please, can't you do something?
he looks as though he's gonna cry.
you said he was stronger than all of those guys
daddy, please tell me why.
why does everyone want him to die?"
later that day, the sky grew cloudy
and daddy said i should go inside.
somehow he knew things would get stormy
boy, was he right, but i could not keep on wondering
if there was something he had to hide
so after he left i had to find out.
i was not afraid of getting lost
so i followed the crowd
to a hill where i knew men had been killed
and i heard a voice come from the cross.
and it said, "father, why are they screaming?
why are the faces of some of them beaming?
why are they casting their lots for my own?
this crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows
father please, can't you do something?
i know that you must hear my cry.
i thought i could handle a cross of this size.
father remind me why
why does everyone want me to die?
o, when will i understand why?"
"my precious son, i hear them screaming
i'm watching the face of the enemy beaming.
but soon i will clothe you in robes of my own
jesus, this hurts me much more than you know.
but this dark hour i must do nothing
though i've heard your unbearable cry.
the power in your blood destroys all the lies
soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes.
look there below, see the child trembling by her father's side
now i can tell you why;
she is the reason why you must die.
let us all appreciate what the lord has done for us..
