With our spit on Christ’s face

Facing my Savior, dying
beside him on the cross
seeing my spit upon him
his blood pouring down
the crown of thorns we fashioned
by our turning from God
our sin the nails that put him
on the rugged cross

Hearing first-hand prayer of Christ
begging to God for mercy on me
through the pain, excursion
his prayer moaned out
breathing for forgiveness
for them, for all of us
that God would forgive us
those persecuting the Christ

His blood, his life, our sacrifice
pouring out of Him
with my spit still upon him
my curse, my derision, my ridicule
his prayer moaned out
a whisper, a murmur
calling out a petition
for forgiveness, for healing
for me on the cross
