1.
Scourged as they mocked, He suffered rejection
Bloody and torn beyond recognition
Then, nailed and raised He taught tenderly a new
Father forgive them they know not what they do
Surely He loved all who stood there
Purely He prayed with perfect care
2.
Hanging on still He forgot just Himself
For a thief, a lost sheep, still needed His help
Today thou shalt enter into paradise
A place for the spirit to go when one dies
Surely He saves us from the fall
Purely He cares for one and all
3.
Then, watching His mother He the first born
Now offered another for her comfort
The bond of the family will never end
He put her into the care of a friend
Surely preparing to depart
Purely He spoke from heart to heart
4.
Alone and forsaken... by Father above
He then taught us all to be loyal to love
So He could save us after all that we do
Gethsemane's sacrifice came all anew
Surely His suff'ring for us did atone
Purely He stated that God's work was done!
Pondering: “We need not walk by the shores of Galilee or among the Judean hills to walk where Jesus walked. All of us can walk the path He walked when, with His words ringing in our ears, His spirit filling our hearts, and His teachings guiding our lives, we choose to follow Him as we journey through mortality. His example lights the way. Said He: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.' ”
