THE WAY

his brother came before him, lived in the wilderness
as predicted by the prophets, he annointed him one day
the mission of salvation of the world thus begun
and the voice from the heavens said, "he'll show you all the way"

many things he taught to all who stopped to listen
he was selflessly humble while spreading jahovia's holy names
he sent his followers to all corners of the world
to glorify and honor his glory and his fame
the leaders of the day became angry at his deeds
they were very fearful of the public's fascination
with the miraculous knowledge and the love for jahovia
so they conspired to commit his assassination

he entered the city like the king of the world
driving out the enemies from the house of the most high
then a trusted friend betrayed his sweetest love
sold him for silver before he went off to die
gathering his friends for the final feast
he gave them the message, the final instruction
later in the grotto, he fell to sweet jahovia
in triumph he was ready to face the destruction
the foolish cried "barabas" at the urging of the king
the torture began and blood began to flow
the world turned to darkness and started to quake
the hearts of the holy became desparate and low

the heathen mocked him and gambled for his clothes
as he bore the burden of the world on that day
he died like a criminal though his purity was well known
for the crimes of all creation his death would repay
as the prophets foretold he arose in his glory
the proof that defeat would never touch god's own
he returned to his beloved, blessed jahovia
to rule all the righteous, he sits upon his throne

he was called the son of man, he was called the son of god
there is not much mention of any other name
in the two thousnad years since this simple man's departure
no one has approached the extent of his fame
and even while there are still those who deny him
and still those who in ignorance wallow in their shame
for those who fall down at his feet and beg for his shelter
their lives will have great meaning and never be the same
