For The Good Of Mortal Man Poem by C R Clark

For The Good Of Mortal Man

Rating: 5.0


Originally written as a song: Tune 'Because He Lives'

There was a man who walked the earth
Filling men with love, doing good for all
He was sacrificed, nailed to a cruel cross
He gave his life for the good of mortal man

This man was Jesus, this man was Jesus
He is the true and living Son of God
He gave his life as an atonement
For the sin, for the sin of mortal man

They nailed him to a cross at Calvary
They pierced his side and mocked him too
They cursed at him, until he died there
He gave his life for folks like you and me

This man was Jesus, this man was Jesus
He is the true and living Son of God
He gave his life as an atonement
For the sin, for the sin of mortal man

He suffered there to pay a sin debt
Made by a world, lost and undone
He prayed to God, to forgive his enemies
And then he died, three days later, rose again

This man was Jesus, this man was Jesus
He is the true and living Son of God
He gave his life as an atonement
For the sin, for the sin of mortal man
