If we were in the garden
Where Jesus suffered so
Would we sleep through his agony
As all his pain did flow
For it was then he was aware
Of every sin made known
And too that he must bear them all
When he was all alone
The horrors of the Auschwitz camps
The New York “Nine-One-One”
Pearl Harbor and the bombings
Each Middle Eastern gun
Nagasaki and the death
That everywhere had spread
The children who are sacrificed
And often left for dead
Each soldier who has died in war
Those dead who never fought
Christ’s agony is all these things
That history has taught
Egyptians who would Jews enslave
The black slaves throughout time
The Irish who would fight to prove
Religion was a crime
The murders in the cities
The rape and pillaging
These garden agonies he felt
That life to him did bring
Yet still he bore them all alone
For mankind would not change
And find the love he sought to share
So life could rearrange
For history repeats itself
The anger and the greed
In every generation found
Though he for love did plead
He gave his life to demonstrate
The reason why we live
And all the hatred in this world
His death did too forgive
So let his tears befall you now
And settle in your heart
Then touch the future with his love
So better days will start | | © 2007 David Devaney |
