The Unknown Man

On a very cool and silent night
With our mat all spread open
Here's a story i was told

A man came to die for me without me knowing him
He died for me many years ago (who knows if my family lineage has started then)
He died for all my sins and your sins infact everybody sins
This i must say is a mystery to me.

He did not only die for me
Or for you or for us
He died and arose.
If it were to be my grand parents generation they had say it's an occult power
If it was to be my generation i'd say it was a falacy
His death brought about the powerlessness of sin and death
Could you imagine an immortal man coming down to our level
To be a mortal man so he can die for us

Was it that their generation back then was peaceful and loving
I mean how will a mere human just decide to die for his fellow human
As in this act was just so stupid
Just imagine you willing to sacrifice yourself for the whole world when you aren't at fault
I know you had say what's the essence when they'll still go back and forget about me someday
I must say he isn't from our planet nor from the solar system
Where He come from is a mystery

What was His Father thinking of when he said his son should die for men
Both the grateful and ungrateful ones like me and you
Was it that the word wasn't a wicked world
Cos i just don't understand
We all know how parent feel when their daughters are used for rituals of a little town
Not to talk about the whole world

I trust the parent I have
The parent you have
The parent we have
They can't even let us move near something that will make their heart sad
talkless of dying
But His father left him
This makes me confused

His father was not wicked, crazy or weird
He gave us His son for our own benefit
I mean
"He who did not spare His own son"
Only son for that matter
"But delivered him over for us all"

This kind of Love I will call
A reckless love
Now I know the Unknown man
Which i know you now know.

After all hearing the story
I asked myself
Why did He die for me?
Why did He go through all this?
Just for you
Just for me
Just for us

And here was what i got
He died for all our iniquity
"He who was sinless became sinful"
Because of us
So we might have eternal life

He died to give us power
Over sin and death
He died to make me holy
Hmmmmm
A prince dying like a slave or mere man

His death didn't mean the end of everything
His death allowed him to send to us a comforter
"Who teaches and directs us"

The question now are
Is your life potraying the reason of His death?
Are you making use of the comforter he gave us?

Know this
The cross is still available on the hill
Never despise the cross
There power at that cross because
That the only cross and it can be copied or cloned

The Unknown man is someone we all know
Telling you about it
Will still be same you hear and know about him
But for does who doesn't know Him
His name is J E S U S
JESUS
And
He is the Reason for the Season
