EMUNAH'S CHILD
We acknowledge and believe this your report
That you have revealed to us, we do exhort
No outward beauty or majesty
Those persons would even gather to see
Rejected, despised, hated, and ignored
Not celebrated, honored, or much-adored
Though he bore our sorrow and our grief
He was derided and treated much like a thief
Thought him smitten of God, forsaken and afflicted
Crushed for our iniquities, the suffering inflicted
Pierced in his side, for all our sins to release
Wounded for our transgression, chastisement for our peace
His stripes were an exchange for our healing
Our destinies for sure that he was sealing
Like sheep, we have all gone astray
Each one has turned to his own selfish way
So the Lord laid on him our sins and iniquities
Knowing omnisciently, that his death was our victory
Neither violent nor deceitful, why then was he charged?
His authenticity mocked with vehement disregard
Accused and arrested his imprisonment unfair
Judgment, trials, his scourging like no other to compare
A sheep before the shearers he opened not his mouth
Like a lamb to the slaughter, they slapped him, spat, screamed, and shout
The most brutal punishment ever devised
For the guiltless one most unjustly despised
Psalm 22 speaks of what would happen to you
Hundreds of years before this event, who dare misconstrue
Stripped of your garments, nailed both your hands and your feet
Cast lots for your clothing, prophecy is now complete
Bones out of joint, they gloated and glared with such cruelty
Painfully bearing it all, you fulfilled the written prophecy
Death on Golgotha, your innocent blood, the penalty to pay
God’s hatred for sin now redeemed and all washed away
Buried without honor in a sinner’s grave
Conquered death and hell for humanity to save
It was the Lord’s perfect will for you to die
For in 3 days your body temple did arise
All nations heard of your love, miracles, and fame
Therefore your suffering was not in vain
Among the powerful and the great
Today you own your rightful place
However, you are placed above them all
For your soul was the sacrifice for both great and small
Interceding as only you can do
Your righteousness, indeed qualifies you to
In your heavenly sanctuary way above
With mercy, grace, and your perfect love
This revelation is undefiled
Written with joy as Emunuah’s Child.
