This Man Poem by Lagaya Evans

This man called Jesus
Where do I start?
Not enough words
To tell of his heart

Close your eyes
And listen to my words
This man called Jesus
That took all your hurt

The night before he died
He prayed in the garden
Until his sweat drip of blood
For our sins to pardon

This man called Jesus
Stood betrayed by another
A man he walked with
A man he called brother

He knew this day would come
Prophecy to unfold
He would only be worth
For the silver he was sold

Yet he was about to pay a price
No silver or gold could buy
He gave the unthinkable
For you he gave his life

With spikes of iron
Drove in his flesh
He hung there in disgrace
With his arms outstretched

Can you take the time
Try to imagine his pain
Not the physical he bore
More than his name!

This man
Can you see inside?
The gut wrenching pain
He would give his life

He had a heart
Just the same as we
This man called Jesus
Another there’ll never be

I can’t begin to measure
The loneliness inside
As he hung there in shame
And slowly died

If your eyes still be closed
Look him in the eyes that day
See all the pain
So you and I could be saved

This man called Jesus
I owe a thousand lives times nine
And that couldn’t even touch
His one he gave for mine

Can you imagine the tears
Fell down his bloody face
This man called Jesus
Died for all our ways

Just one more time
Look into his eyes and see
This man called Jesus
Who suffered for you and me

Not only a physical pain
But pain of the heart
Betrayed, denied, and alone
His heart was torn apart

He was but a man
With the same as you and me
He felt and he loved
With all in him be

This man called Jesus
But flesh and bone of man
Came and felt heart break
The scars in his hands

But the scars at the time
He felt maybe more
This man called Jesus
His heart shredded and torn

Ripped from his chest
A heart so full of love
This man called Jesus
No one is worthy of

He came, He lived, and He loved
For a world he knew yet not
This man called Jesus
Took the nails and for what?

Just because he loved you
He gave all he had as man
He breathed his last breath
While holding you in his hand
