the
romance of the cross
take
a step back
take
a step to the right
now
get another look at the cross
it
began long before
long
before he ever walked
clear
from very beginning of this creation
HE
knew
HE
knew it would break
leaving
us all in a mire of our own mud
come
walk with me in the cool of the day
come
climb this mountain to its heights so we can talk
won’t
you pray with me for one hour
a man
of sorrow
a man
not pretty
a man
without stature
be
healed but tell no one but the priest
this
man is not blind for the sins of his parents
where
are your accusers
blessed
are you
blessed
are they
blessed
are those
whitewashed
graves
vipers
and serpents
you
say but I tell you
a man
without blame
like
a sheep before the shears
no
single word broke his silence
john
this is your mother
I am
thirsty
it is
finished
it is
finished
without
a broken bone
but
crown of thorns and a heart exposed for all to see
