Blood and Tears
The Passion of
Jesus Christ
Dave Cooley
He was taken from our midst
Betrayed by
one that he called friend
Just a single kiss
Revealed the enemy
within
And so the end was to begin
He was guarded on all sides
So
that he could not escape
He did not struggle or resist
He has accepted as
his fate
His death would save us from our sins
He was taken to the priests
Said
the high priest Caiaphas
“You are accused of many things
The worst is that
you have blasphemed
You called yourself the Son of God
Claimed to be a
holy king.”
Then they beat him with their
fists
Kick him as he writhed in pain
A crown of thorns pierced His
flesh
As they spat on him and laughed
I saw blood mingling with
tears
Blood mingled with his tears
He stood before the maddened
crowd
Pilate standing at His side
Pilate said he found no crime
No
reason for this man to die
They shouted louder “Crucify!”
He sent our Lord
away to die
Jesus told us he would die
And on
the third day rise again
To fulfill the prophecies
And glorify the
Father’s name
But we did not understand
How could we
understand?
I saw him hanging on the
cross
Blood mingled with his tears
Mocked and taunted by the mob
Yet
with his dying breath
“Father, forgive them,” was His plea
Blood mingling with tears…
