He was born under a great star, Bit there were no shepherds or kings that came from afar. And his birth had not been foretold, For his prophets knew only of sacrifices from old. This life was of the savage way, Blood of man spilled On an altar to a god of clay. Raised in the temples of darkness His manhood came from The abominations unblessed.
He ruled with money and by pride, In tasks, allowing only his wealth To be his guide. But the palaces he had built, Could not give the right Pleasure to rid him of his guilt. What he had hoped was lost to him For all these stone images could Not forgive the sin. Empty, he left all he had gained. Even his tomb in which, after life, He would have reigned. Wandering he sought life anew. Then he saw a man, from which Around Him a crowd grew. Who is this that teaches new life? The Son of God?, The Savior?, Or Redeemer of Strife? He followed Him from a distance, This man that performed wonders And spoke to magnificence. And questioned why, when He was Seized, for this man, Christ, is Innocent and should be believed. From the masses he cried aloud, But his wealth and riches meant Nothing within this crowd.
He received Jesus, Son of God, And realized that by Him, And only Him, sin is trod. He was once a savage of sin, But from Jesus Christ he was Forgiven and freed within. The death of Him, he could not bare, A savage death, a savage death, Did no one care?
A savage way of life he came, To end at a savage death To the one of God’s Name. As Joseph had given up his tomb, He too had a place which was left For a day of gloom. No longer needed however, For that place of death was Given to Christ forever. But now he heard the women cry, “the stone was moved”, and the body no longer did lie. They talked and wondered how it was, Then he and another left on the Road to Emmaus. Later was when he really knew That long ago he was chosen as One of the few. For on the road to Emmaus They came upon a man who Was the risen Jesus. This life was changed for evermore, Knowing that Jesus had risen And made the score. This may have not been one that was, But it could’ve been, it could’ve been,
