So kind and merciful

You were so merciful and kind
Rare gesture we will never find
How could we ask Him to perform?
Keep us with peace and love warm

You are savior and protector of this world
The relations are getting strained and cold
We are in dirty games and cheaply sold
Facing misery and terrible pains untold

Where could we go and ask for protection?
You were only available for any holy action
You could do it your self but chose to sacrifice
Send on earth a great soul to fulfill the promise

The wind, rivers and sky made it clear
There won’t be any injustice or fear
He was on earth for our good and betterment
We hardly understood Him as heavenly sent

What was he supposed to carry out?
What were we using him for and talking about?
His eyes spoke of only kindness with love
We made him victim and extremely drove

I felt constrained to see you on cross
What a pathetic show I had to see and it was
How much you could have felt at such pain?
But you did not curse and calmly remained

I have seen you number of times and felt the same
I don’t know where from all strength and tolerance came?
You knew it well that nothing may go right for you
Yet it was very important and equally true

You were for us to carry out the mission
We had no guts for guilt admission
We committed sin with unknown state of mind
We even went on to hang and almost making you blind

We are shameless and unwarranted on this beautiful earth
Even thousands of years may be less with death
Still the love and kindness may last more in years to come
You will be remembered always with hearty welcome
