The road was steep

Jagged rocks tore at His feet

Battering the soles of His sandals

Yet on He came

Divine appointments had

To be kept

He knew His destiny had called

From the eternal beginnings of time

An old wooden cross was

Waiting in the darkness

Yet on He came

Thousands of people had to be fed

They had gathered for days

Seeking the One who would heal

Diseases, infirmities, blind eyes,

Leprosy and tormented spirits

Many would be ungrateful

And cry crucify!

Yet on He came

He knew what lay ahead

Within the Father’s will

Betrayal and denial

By those He loved

Beating and abandonment

Three rusty nails

To pierce His hands and feet

Forsaken by the Father

A grave with a door of stone

Yet on He came

He knew He would be

Three days in the pits of hell

To bring back the keys of Heaven

To give them a choice

That had gone on before

He would defeat the enemy

Of mortal souls

But, rejection would be their choice

Yet on He came

He knew that in the future

I would need a Savior

To save me from the wrath of God

To wash me of my sins

And redeem my soul from

The eternal darkness of hell

I didn’t deserve His grace and mercy

Yet on He came.

Thank You Jesus for saving me

I am so grateful you came!
