The Rabbi.


Once there lived a Rabbi

With spirit pure and clear

A gentle,loving Rabbi

Who taught for all to hear.



He was the Son

of the most High

Possessed of heavenly grace

He was the One

Sent to die

To bear sin in our place.



But what many enduring stories

Which pass from year to year

Sometimes subtract from His many glories

is that the Rabbi once felt fear.



Alone in prayer as others slept

kneeling on the grass

tears of blood the Rabbi wept

that this heavy cup would pass.



But His faith in God

and love for all

Overcame the dread.

Under punishing rod

He took the fall

and suffered in our stead.



His time on the cross has inspired

billions to seek salvation.

At the tomb what next transpired

Has transformed every nation.



So let us always rejoice

And remember what it's all about

And celebrate in one voice

that the Rabbi had no doubt.
