They Knew He Was Coming To Judge

They knew He was coming to judge
a Roman, a Jew, an atheist, and a Muslim
and pay for their sins by carrying the cross
to Calvary on His bleeding shoulders;
they didn't understand the purpose 
of His mission and continued to spit on Him
and mock Him while women wiped off his bloody face...
was Christ ever in a vengeful rage?

He'll reward the meek and the pure in heart,
punish the wicked who resist
and don't surrender to Christ;
they refused to acknowledge how might He was
and He continued to take insults and blows...
being silent and dragging the heavy cross!

They knew He was coming to judge
a Roman, a Jew, a Muslim, and an atheist 
or whoever was worshiping a false god.
He could have avoided death by calling upon 
the angels, but He chose to be scourged  
as prophesized, to do God's will instead;
and bearing atrocious pain He turned
to his mother and declared Her dying son
bending His head and wearing a crown
made of pricky thorns never showing a grudge,
and those painful thorns made Him bleed 'till he died!
