"Only Jesus Knew the Score"
When they sang the Hymn that evening,
Only Jesus knew the score...
Those glad and joyful verses,
Hid the pain that was in store.Jesus saw the torture coming...
The crown of thorns pressed on his head;
He knew the mocking and the scourging,
Even as He broke the Bread.He saw The Cross and Roman soldiers;
He understood those painful signs,
That the Prophets had once spoken...
Even as He poured the wine.He knew well there at The Table,
Of the wicked heart of man....
He saw clearly Calv'ry's bloodshed,
And nails driven through His hands.He knew the pain, the spit, the laughing...
He knew the spear would pierce his side;
He knew death by crucifixion,
Was how Messiah had to die.He'd be the stone that was rejected;
He saw the writing on the wall.
He'd soon know the painful suff'ring...
As He obeyed The Father's call.*******
Yet Jesus saw beyond the torture,
Past the insult and the pain...
Beyond the mocking and the jeering,
The twisted heart of men insane.So He sang this Hymn with gladness,
For soon the ransom would be paid!
God's Unleavened Bread provided...
This was the day the LORD had made!The Covenant once promised...
The Hope of Blessing long foretold...
Would be "cut" in bloody crimson,
At last, in Christ, it would unfold.And so Death would now Passover
Those whose Faith lies in The Lamb.
Ancient Promise made to Abram*...
Firstfruit spoils Satanic Scam.So the Gate to Life and Glory,
Would swing open now for all...
And through Faith all men might enter
God the Father's Banquet Hall!**Christ knew death could never keep Him...
Though He knew it lay ahead.
Resurrection frees the captives;
Taste this Wine and Broken Bread.Friend, please come now to His Table...
It's still the Day the Lord has made!
Sing Hosannah in the highest!
Rejoice!...The debt we owe...He paid!*Genesis 12:1-3
**Luke 14: 15-24
Thanks Tom!
