In between sobs I asked
Why, Why, Lord?
With tender facial expression
Filled with compassion,
Tears rolling down your cheeks
With a mixture of blood
I heard you say,
For this I came, child
To lay down my life
To give you life
Wiping my tears, I said
Thank you, Thank you
Your love has entered my soul
And as He turned to go
I noticed something
His body marked with deep scars
Covered with blood
Then turning to me He said,
The work must be finished
To the cross I must go
Slowly, slowly He walked away
I stood watching Him disappear
In the horizon, leaving behind
Big letters written in red
My life for you
After a while a loud cry
My God, my God
Why have you forsaken me?
I heard the deep expression
Of His sufferings
Following his cry
I knelt down at the cross
Where He was nailed
There I heard Him say,
It is finished.
Then He breathed his last
Nature responded with darkness
Tremors, expressions so violent
People ran confused
Filled with fear, and guilt
Still bathed in His blood
I was left there alone
Staring at Him
And for a moment I thought
All had died with Him
Then I felt his healing touch
By His grace, I know
He healed my soul
And blessed me with faith
For the things hoped for
They came to take Him away
From the cross to the grave
I followed them to the place
There I remained with hope
The only thing left in me
Three days later, three days latter
I heard a voice like thunder
Nature, the whole nature
Woke up to the splendor of lights
Morning had come!
With angels celebrating His life
With excitement I shouted
He is alive, He is alive!
Love, your death, my life
Your life, my freedom
Bowed down, face on the ground
Worshiping Him I noticed
His feet still carrying
The marks of the nails
Looking up I saw His hands
His nail scared hands
I asked Him why?
A sign for my people
Seeing they will believe
Messiah had come
The glow of his holiness
Filled my soul with peace
As He started to leave
With tears rolling down my face
I pleaded, please don’t go!
Left alone, I realized
He had planted a seed of
His eternal love in my heart
To stay until someday,
Until someday.
