Even unto Death

Precious hours,
a few remaining moments
Christ hanging on the cross
yet still praying for us
that none would be lost
That God would forgive
that He would restore
even unto death
seeking to save the lost
to bring us back to God
to heal our brokenness
the thieves, the criminals
the last to receive this blessing
one dying in his sin, pointless
the other rising to the garden, paradise
God still working through Jesus
even there on the cross
