Christ Crucified
By Susie Hale
Christ Jesus was born into this world to be crucified, to die.
Humbled Himself as a servant, being made in in the likeness of man.
Relinquishing His heavenly throne for a time, to redeem His bride.
Identifying with mankind completely, He entered the womb of Mary
Surrendering His glory to become a helpless human infant.
Taking the form of the creature He created from dust.
Crucifixion, the cruelest death, was the price He chose to pay.
Redeeming His chosen ones by shedding His own blood,
Uplifted upon the cross He became the perfect Lamb of God.
Crying “Why have you forsaken me?” as the Father turned His back,
Intense suffering fell on Jesus as the weight of our sin crushed Him.
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,
In agony He prayed for sinners, prayed for me and prayed for you.
Ensured entry into paradise to the thief who confessed belief.
Died the death I deserved, that I might have life I could not earn.
