For Unto Us...
Blindly judged
falsely accused
tortured and speared
beaten and bruised.
Rejected, betrayed
by His closest friends
while everyone else
chanted for His end.
The sun stopped shining
as the darkness came.
Surrendering His final breath,
He called out to God in vain.
A birth made for death,
His purpose fulfilled.
Even the earth itself
refused to stay still.
Such a sad, cruel death
He never deserved –
yet it was a death
that would save the world.
