Praying for Abba
our hearts aching
our Father’s suffering
in the dying of the Son
the Lamb of God, descended
to the earth, the cross, to
the grave
Praying for Abba
crying out with Him
the suffering of our Master
sacrificing our Brother
in seeing his own son dying
there upon our cross
Praying for Abba
for our Savior
hanging in pain, in shame,
to heal our sin, our death
to raise us with Him
dying with Him on the cross

faithful in sacrificing

becoming the sacrificial lamb
with
no substitution;

pain of the Father on Good Friday
when
his son died for us.

one
sacrifice for all time
