Stronger by Nykee Parker/Artist & Poet

Beaten with the hardest whip

For no other reason than they could do it

You can’t believe how many time they hit him

To the point beyond recognition

After being arrested and tried

And with no friends at his side

He took his cross and made his way

To the place where he’d meet his fate

How heavy must his heart have been

To know he was about to meet his end

Being taunted by his enemies

The same ones He came to set free

They placed a crown upon his head

“King of Jews”, they laughed and said

Right before they nailed his hands

And laughed again

Up He went upon that cross

It seemed to all that he had lost

And later on He died that day

And there was nothing else to say

But wait, after three days past

Could it be a miracle at last?

The stone rolled away, no body

There was no trace, where is he

Not among the dead, but the living

Walking and talking, can you believe it

After tying up some loose ends with his disciples

He informed everyone it was time to go

But not before leaving words of comfort

That He was leaving behind the Holy Spirit

He’s going to prepare a place

And one day again we would see his face

And up He ascended to the heavens

Where He could sit on high and bestow blessings

It is because of His sweet sacrifice

That we love our Lord Jesus Christ

There is no one who loves us more

And it is because of this we are stronger
