AS INNOCENT AS HE WAS,
THEY CALLED HIM "CRIMINAL."
LEGALLY THEY COULD NOT KILL HIM,
SO, SEEKED ROME'S TRIBUNAL.
HE SAID "I'M NOT OF THIS WORLD"
"AND I CAME TO TELL THE TRUTH."
PILATE ASKED "JUST WHAT IS THAT?"
THEN WASHED HIS HANDS FOR GOOD.
JESUS HAD TOLD BELIEVERS;
"TAKE YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME."
IN DECIPHERING WHAT THAT MEANT,
MANY DISAGREED!
BUT HE IS OUR EXAMPLE,
AND HAD THE LAST WORD OUT...
THAT GREAT INVIOLATE CRIMINAL'S
WHAT WE HAVE TO SHOUT ABOUT!
