He died on the cross for our sins <br />It should have been we who died instead… <br /> <br />The people spat upon him they mocked him <br />And called him name <br />They laughed and mistreated him <br />With schemes to further degrade him <br />With all of their evil games… <br /> <br />Yes for all He suffered a long and horrible death <br />He was buried in a cave, and three days later he arose <br />The stone was rolled away… <br /> <br />When the people saw that He was no longer dead <br />They just could not believe, what had happened that day… <br /> <br />Oh Father: “ had I been there with you, <br />I surely would have died” for it would be more than <br />I could bare to see you crucified… <br /> <br />You who had not committed one single sin <br />Yet you did not call heavens <br />Angels to rescue you that sad and lonely day… <br /> <br />Oh Father: “how much it must Have hurt Mary your mother <br />To see her son tortured again and again”… <br /> <br />Thank you for that ultimate sacrifice for all <br />Thank you Lord that upon your name <br />We your heirs can freely call… <br /> <br />Thank you for dying for all in our place <br />For we are filled with such sin <br />Thank you Lord for forgiving us <br />over and over again… <br />© Copyright 2005 Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-all-he-suffered-and-died/
