My people what have I done to you? How have I offended you?
ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!
I led you out of Egypt from slavery to
freedom, I led you with manna from heaven,
but you led your Savior to the cross
For forty years I led you safely through
the desert, and brought you to a land of
plenty, I planted you as my fairest vine
But you yielded only bitterness
What more could I have done for you?
When I was thirsty you gave me vinegar
to drink, and you pierced your Saviour’s
side with a lance
For your sake I scourged your captors
And their first born sons, but you brought
your scourges down on me. To my people
I led you from slavery to freedom and
Drowned your captors in the sea, but you
handed me over to your high priests
I opened the sea before you, but you
opened my side with a spear
I led you on your way in a pillar of cloud
But you led me to pilate’s court
I bore you up with manna in the desert
But you struck me down and scourged me
I gave you saving water from the rock
But you gave me gall and vinegar to drink
For you I struck down the kings of
Canaan, but you struck my head with a reed
I gave you a royal scepter, but you gave me a crown of thorns I raised you to the height of majesty, but
you have raised me high on a cross.
