Earth has not known
a more incongruous scene
The Son of God
before a judgment seat;
The Righteous One
arraigned by wicked priests;
The glorious Lord
apparently demeaned;
The crowd at war
against the Prince of Peace;
The Just condemned;
the guilty man released;
A governor debased
to feebly plead;
His gentile wife
owning Christ's righteous deeds
While Jews demand
their own Messiah's grief.
Within this scene
perfection is replete:
The Lamb of God
moves humbly to complete
His sacrifice by
which we have been healed.
Really nice.
