Suffering Servant
Called to be great,
Yet in doubt and despair,
Trapped in prison,
Does Jesus even care?
A forerunner for Jesus,
A life of sacrifice,
Made many converts,
Even baptized Christ,
Heralded His name,
When he had clear vision,
Called Him the Savior,
Before he was imprisoned,
Suffering is a tool,
That exposes our humanity,
No one is exempted,
From the stressors of calamity,
Blessed is the man,
Who doesn’t fall away,
But stands in temptation,
Despite the delay.
