when they whipped him

when they whipped the Savior
the Christ, God Here With Us,
we see this scripture
lived out, truly real
to turn the other cheek
not merely words
something to do, to follow
the example, sacrifice
to leave to God judgment
all else, grace, offering
love to our enemies
all whom me meet
when they whipped and chained him
when Christ walked to the cross
living out this witness
these words of love
