You think you hurt and that life has treated you so unkindly <br />Friend let me tell you about someone who endured so much more <br />He endured more than any human upon this earth has before <br /> <br />He was laughed at and mocked by those whom he loved <br />He was wounded for our sins as well <br />By those whom he taught about God and good <br />His whereabouts to the enemies they still did tell <br /> <br />He was spat upon lashed, beaten beyond belief <br />Nowhere upon earth did his body find relief <br /> <br />His own mother watched him die <br />All sh could do was watch them torture him <br />Her son as she winced in pain on his behalf <br />“Oh how she did cry”! <br /> <br />He was torn, and tattered, beaten and scorned <br />Yet I am sure he hurt more for the hearts <br />That were broken and for all who for his death, mourned <br />He took so little for himself, for he came as a servant to all <br />And not once as he hang upon the cross suffering <br />Upon his many angels for help did he call! <br /> <br />So unworthy are we still of his life he gave for all <br />Don’t look back at who has hurt you the most <br />Or what is not right in your lives <br />For if Jesus hadn’t died for us- <br />Friend, you wouldn’t have a life at all! <br />©Copyright 2004 Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-can-be-found-in-the-storm/
