SON OF BETHLEHEM

SON OF BETHLEHEM (By Oliver Mutai and Sian Albright)

Oh! Son of Bethlehem,
Three nails and a cross,*
For my sins be forgiven,
Lived a life we can all remember,
You did as your Father commanded,
Son of Bethlehem....
Commanded the rumbling sea into silence,
Restored sanity to the lost in the dark.
Great Master...
They when fought for your Fine linen,
Those that cast suffering and pain upon you,
Lashing and Nailing,
Deep into you skin and flesh,
For our trespasses be forgiven,
Your identity the marks of the 6'',
You weeped and cried to no heed,
The will too but none will Savor them,
Thirty three years.
No scandal no blemish no apostasy. Glorious!
Blessed is the rugged cross,
where you profusely bleed,
I AM FREE.
