The Lord's Descent

There was something in our Lord's descent
That made man's ascent possible
With all our frailties, he could lament
And make sin's stains then washable

He descended beneath all things
And mankind's sins became His
A death's sentence, for our doings
Called...though He'd done naught amiss

Then, He willingly submitted
To this gruesome form of death
As they tortured, mocked, and spitted
And caused pain with every breath

Though, they pierced His healing hands,
His pure heart, and His feet we are to follow
When He died, He broke the bands
Of death, in two days from the morrow

Luke  23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,

saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear
God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 23:41 And we indeed
justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath
done nothing amiss.
