    MAN OF SORROWS

    Come into this world

    Oh naked child

    Cry not for mater’s love

    Innocent you

    What wou’d happen?

    Your future we know not yet

    Worry not for pater prepares

    Your way, your world

     

    Old enough tender as me

    Oh open child

    See the blue planet, tell me

    Yeah, dark eyes in tears

    Now you know

    More tears to come

    Wish I was nev’r born

     

    Expect no exaltation

    This ruthless earth

    Human race who’s against you

    No firewall could stand

    D’forces of corruption

    Oh Man of sorrows

    Despised, rejected

     

    Brought as a lamb

    Oh poor child

    Only to be slaughtered

    In this brutal world

    A sheep before his shearers

    Laid on altar of rock

    For mankind’s iniquities

    Transgressions

     

    Done no violence

    No deceit in his mouth

    Yet offered his life

    To save his race

    Annihilation from sin

    Righteous servant is he

    Shall be satisfied at the end

    Isaiah 53. Beautiful. He died to save His race, but His love was so great that he wound up saving the whole world...or, whoso ever will, that is. Good job, and I love it.

    Thanks a lot, yes, you're right it's all about Jesus Lord...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
