So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” - (John 19:5 ESV)
Animosity builds to an atrocity
That leads to amnesty for bandits
While exposing religious hypocrisy
A philosophy of demons
Justifying the reason
To ridicule the Creator
And falsely accuse him of treason
Covered in humility
Stripped now of his dignity
Unbeknownst to the world
That within him is all divinity
Public enemy No. 1
Blasphemy to blasphemers
Because he came to seek and save the lost
Not self-righteous deceivers
Behold the man…
Paraded around as a delusional fool
The very King of the world
Used as a political tool
Justifying the guilty
Through an unrighteous execution
So that the accusations of Satan
Would never bring them to ruin
The Lamb of God
Who though he was slain
Would resurrect the temple in three days
So it would forever remain
All those he claims
Are now without blemish or stain
So even when brought low
They too shall rise again
Numbered with the transgressors
So that we become confessors –
Witnesses to his craft
Escaping the cup of wrath
That he drank on our behalf
Behold the feet
Behold the hands
Behold the man
Who gives pardon to the damned
Amen.
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! - (John 1:29 ESV)
Soli Deo Gloria,
Shon
