I met him on a cross road of life confusion

When all gave up on me

In prison

Sentence to death

Awaiting for my turn

I was the notorious robber

My name rang the bell of

Pain

Riot

Rapist

Murder

Thief

Caught severally in the act

But always got my way out

Knowing that my time was up

And nothing could change my sentence

No way of escape

It was about that same time

Bound in chains

In front of the crowd at the judgment hall

With another prisoner

Discussing who to set free?

Who to condemn?

I knew the harm I have caused

Waiting to be condemned

Then the crowd grows wild

Release me and crucify the fellow

Chanting my name for my release

The judge said,

What crime has he committed?

I found no fault with him

But the crowd shouted at the top of their voices

“Crucify him!”

“Crucify him!”

Free

Freedom

So good to be true

Dashed out from the court room

It seem I was dreaming

I was set free

What has this man done to be sentenced to death?

So I followed in a distance

Stripped off his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him

They spat in his face

He was given the beating of a life time

Thorny crown placed on his head

He was humiliated and made fun of

He said nothing

While some hurled insult on him

His family and friend abounded him

Broken into pieces

Disfigured by many

Bruise

Subjected to pain

To give his life for me

Crushed by sorrow in view of what would happen to him

He was to drink the cup of suffering

To fulfill the scriptures

For me

On top of the mountain

Hug him on a tree

There I stood

Trying to understand

I saw the pain, shame and disgrace

This man went through

And all he said was

“Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”

Praying for us?

In his pain and anguish

I saw LOVE

Then I knew

Took he my place

Died for me

Victory over sin

Victory over the world

Forgiven

My name is Barabas

And that man hugging on the CROSS is
