WHO IS THIS MAN

Who is this man of Galilee?

Who claimed He was the Son of God

I saw Him calm the raging sea

But still I thought He was a fraud

I followed Him afar off

Just to watch His every move

I did not believe His words of love

Just His deceit I wanted to prove

Yet I am saw Him heal the blind

The dumb of speech and the lame

But doubts of Him filled my mind

And I did not believe in His holy name

I joined in with the baying crowd

As He stood before the governor Pilate

Crucify Him; I cried aloud

My wicked heart full of hate

But I saw Him stand there so meek

As they crowned His head with thorn

And my spittle ran down His cheek

As I mocked Him there with scorn

I watched Him hang on the cross of wood

His pain and agony I could see

But I still had not understood

He was dying there for a sinner like me

I saw the empty grave where He had lay

Yet I still did not believe

I heard His disciples had carried Him away

And just were out to deceive

Then I saw Him in the garden

As with Mary He quietly talked

Yet I asked not for His pardon

Though now I no longer mocked

I stood with the disciples there

And in my heart I really knew

As Jesus ascended in the air

He was the Son of God who disappeared from view

Blessed are they though having not seen

Put their trust in Him as God did plan

And He sinful souls will redeem

For it is Jesus our Saviour who is this Man
