Love Hurt

Love came down
In a humble man
To save the world
Best He can

He was betrayed
By someone He loved
And with just one kiss
Love was cuffed

Like a common thief
With sticks and swords
He was captured
By those He'd taught

They ganged up
To bring Him down
The King, wearing thorns
A bleeding crown

Humiliated and beaten
Before the cock crowed
He was betrayed
Three times in a row

And even when the nails
Were hammered through
He still did nothing
He did what He needed to

Yet they mocked Him
Laughing as His blood spills
They called Him names
As He hung between criminals

Love came down
To be broken
Love hurt
Just for the broken
