Human and Divine
Jesus was human, but He was also divine.
He came, to this earth, to save your soul and mine.
He worked with His hands in a carpenter's shed;
Making yoke for the
oxen and, probably, tables and beds.
When Jesus was twelve, you could find Him inside
A temple, in Jerusalem, with the priests and the scribes;
Asking questions and learning to do His Father's will
Because He knew that
the scriptures must, soon, be fulfilled.
When Jesus was thirty, He started teaching God's word.
Throughout all of Canaan, His voice could be heard.
He started healing the lepers, the deaf, lame, and blind
With the help of His
Father; who'd made Jesus divine.
When Martha told Jesus that His friend, Lazarus, had died,
The Bible tells us that He broke down and cried.
So, He had the same feelings that you and I feel;
His heart had been
broken, His sorrow was real.
Jesus suffered so much, from the beatings and thorns.
His body was weary, His flesh ravaged and torn
So much that He fell, with the weight of His cross,
Because of His
weakness and the blood He had lost.
So, even though Jesus was surely divine,
He had to lose His own life - just to save yours and mine;
Because Jesus knew it was His Father's will
That He suffer and die
upon Calvary's hill.
