What was it like when you
realized?
When you knew there was no
other way?
Did you sit Him down and look
into His eyes?
Did He flinch at the price He
would pay?
Did a hesitant note manifest in His tone
When He said “OK Dad – I’ll
go”?
Was there no hesitation at
leaving His throne?
Did you know that He wouldn’t
say no?
What was it like when you bid
Him goodbye
To descend to the world as a
man?
Did He depart with a tear in
His eye
Or was He eager to see out the
plan?
Did He know that His love
would come under attack
From those He was trying to
save?
Did He know that the flesh
would be stripped from His back?
That His grief would come wave
after wave?
What was it like when the
moment arrived?
When our sin tore your eyes
from His face?
Did you look away with a tear in your eye
When He carried our marks of
disgrace?
He knew that the blood from
the thorns on His brow
Was the only way we could be
freed
Could He see through the pain?
Was He looking to now?
Was it then He was looking at
me?
What was it like when He let
out that cry?
Was the silence in Heaven
profound?
Did the wind hesitate? Did the
earth give a sigh?
As you thundered and shook the
ground?
Did the heavenly legions show
poise and control
As the soldier thrust into His
side?
Did they yearn to ride out and
exact their own toll
And avenge Heaven’s King as He
died?
What was it like when He
silenced the cries?
When the stone was rolled back
from the cave?
With your plan of perfection
no longer disguised
Jesus holding the key to the
grave?
Was the shouting in Heaven
like nothing before?
Did the Universe shake from
the din?
Did the devil turn tail when
he heard them all roar?
When he lost his firm grip on
our sin?
What was it like when He rose
through the sky?
Was the reception committee
well planned?
Was there ever a word to
describe such a high
As He took His seat at your
right hand?
I just can’t imagine such love
overflow
When you took Him back into
your arms
That same force of love that
caused Him to go
To fetch me back home, safe from harm
