Three wise men came to me with three gifts , on Christmas morn
they had followed a star to see ,
the savior-King who was newly born
And when I was a young child
exploring the world as a child plays
I got lost for three days
but within a home of God , I smiled
A spirit led me into the wilderness
to be three times tempted by the devil
satan wanted to make me one of his
but I gave visiting angels my soul
I taught so that all might remember -
" to Ask, to Seek, and to Knock"
for with these keys , all things surrender and Heavens door unlock
I was 3 times ten plus 3 years old speaking out for Faith , Hope , and Charity
some thought me evil, others called me bold but what I did, I did for thee
" I am not", was all that Peter would say when asked if he is one of my disciples
his third denial came after I was lead away,
before the moment a cock crows
Many think I dropped the cross three times on the way to my crucifixion
and with two other found guilty of crimes,
that 3 of us had embarked towards heaven
It is believed that three nails were used to bind each hand and both feet - my executioners expected t be abused
but with words like these I chose to speak:
" And though my flesh deeply pangs for water while blood also trickles from each hand ,
please forgive them oh Father
for they do not understand "
It was Pilate who inscribed above my head,
in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew,
on a wooden plaque that could be read :
'Jesus the Nazarene the King of every Jew'
When at 3 o'clock , I was to take my leave
so that future generations might believe ,
some say I said this simple phrase of three
'I am thirsty'
One rushed up to me with a sponge soaked in sour wine but others said "Let him be!"
to see if God would save me in time
It was on the third day that I rose after having been crucified
and every kind-hearted person knows, it was for each of you that I died
