Seeing, understanding
God’s choice, to sacrifice, to give himself
rather than to judge the world
offering his life, so we would not know death
eternal abyss, the fiery pit
Giving his all, humble submission
Seeing the world, this life
through the heart of God
Tears in the telling
the story before us
how could he punish
the ones he loves
