Man Of Sorrows Poem by Noel Horlanda

Man Of Sorrows

Rating: 4.9


Come into this world
Oh naked child
Cry not for mater’s love
Innocent you
What wou’d happen?
Your future we know not yet
Worry not for pater prepares
Your way, your world

Old enough tender as me
Oh open child
See the blue planet, tell me
Yeah, dark eyes in tears
Now you know
More tears to come
Wish I was nev’r born

Expect no exaltation
This ruthless earth
Human race who’s against you
No firewall could stand
D’forces of corruption
Oh Man of sorrows
Despised, rejected

Brought as a lamb
Oh poor child
Only to be slaughtered
In this brutal world
A sheep before his shearers
Laid on altar of rock
For mankind’s iniquities
Transgressions

Done no violence
No deceit in his mouth
Yet offered his life
To save his race
Annihilation from sin
Righteous servant is he
Shall be satisfied at the end
