He has to die (Vol 3 No 61)


Jesus stands firm, no compromise;

Even when told it was unwise;

Can we remain and hear the cry –

He is a threat!  He has to die!

 

Violence of Rome keeps brutal peace;

But Jesus comes to bring release;

He will not teach – ‘An eye for eye.’

He is a threat ! He has to die!

 

Priests live by every pious clause;

But Jesus does not keep their laws;

“He’s an imposter!” Hear their cry;

He is a threat!  He has to die!

 

Walking with Jesus can bring strife,

But with him is abundant life;

If he’s a threat and has to die,  

We may hear shouts of ‘Crucify!’
