Suffering, how beautiful you are

I have suffered a lot lately,
a jailing unnecessarily, bruises,
broken bones, and cuts.

I also just listened to Jason Upton
sing, "Suffering, how beautiful you
are."

It is rare that Jesus holds us close
to His cross and lets us suffer with
him.

Rarely, he lets us wear his crown of thorns.

Likely, that gold and pearls is what we offer
and maybe diamonds is what we want in return.

Jesus holds me close for a photo-op,
it is a crown of thorns today,
about men I want to play with

and a man who suffered sweeter than
me for my life to be okay...

Jesus Christ.
