Grasping, yearning,
humbly falling to our knees
the depth of our understanding
wanted to comprehend
the meaning of Lent
Christ’s life, his journey
radically turning,
more than the dove,
choosing to go to Jerusalem
Centering his sights
his eyes on the temple
going when he knew
he would suffer and die
Taking to task the powerful
the self-righteous
showing us all
what it is to love
Going to the cross
becoming the sacrifice
our sin placed upon him
the lamb of God
climbing the wood
feeling the pain,
the shame of our judgment
dying there that we may truly live
