How high should he have hung? <br />Should he have hung on a different tree? <br />Did he not carry the cross far enough? <br />Was there not enough blood for all to see? <br /> <br />Did they not laugh and mock him enough? <br />Were his stripes not deep to the bone? <br />Was to much flesh left hanging? <br />To really call him our Lord? <br /> <br />Did they not pierce the right side? <br />Should the soldiers be held to blame? <br />How high should he have hung? <br />To wipe away your shame? <br /> <br />Was the pain not enough he didn’t come down? <br />Because he could at any time <br />Yet, he stayed while the crowd cheered <br />And all yelled and mocked crucify! <br /> <br />How high should he have hung? <br />Would people not then have an excuse? <br />No they’d think of other ways <br />To reject the King of Jews <br /> <br />He didn’t have to hang at all <br />He could have been pain free <br />But he chose to walk through hell <br />So save you and me!<br /><br />Lagaya Evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-high-should-he-have-hung/
