Not first upon the Cross God let Himself be slain,
For see! He lieth dead there at the feet of Cain.

Goodness this is a powerful reminder and brings forward what it means to be in the image and likeness of God. When we lay violent hands on any person, we lay violent hands on God himself--Matthew 25:40:
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
For see! He lieth dead there at the feet of Cain.
