Until It Hurt
He was a man of means
Yet He held no earthly estate
Becoming one of His own creation
He sealed and changed their fate
He gives the gift of life
and gave to his dying breath
All for the joy set before Him
endured a shameful death
It’s too wonderful
to comprehend
How this selfless heart
broke to mend
The shattered lives
the bleeding souls
bind their wounds
to make them whole
through a love
that gave ’til it hurt
Some follow ruts too deep
Some confused end up falling down
Other’s will pay no attention
and get lost in the turn around
This man was made of clay
but God to His very soul
A mystery mix both divine and human
His love drove Him to the goal
