Jesus Nazareno

Jesus of Nazareth
Nailed to the cross
Covered in blood his face remained
His face serene
Like a divine angel
Crown of thorns
The people gave him

Eloi, Eloi
Lama Sabactani
He cried out to the father
The divine Jesus
The good redeemer
Cried out again
Without strength though
The master expired

He did not curse
The ingratitude
That the people had shown
Without compassion
They gave him vinegar
Jesus refused
Feeling agony
Of death and pain

The light turned to darkness
The earth trembled
Dying on the cross
The son of God
The veil was torn
Of separation
Giving us grace, peace, and forgiveness
