he was not forsaken
God had not truly left him
the words of the ancient
psalm
prayed upon the cross
Christ intoning the ancient
words
the balm to the people
connected throughout time
between God and his people

This
Lenten Season, we are doing something a little different. We are doing Lenten
Dramas from: http://www.sermonsfromseattle.com/home.htm
It is called "The Voice of God". We are hearing conversations between
God and some of the characters that took part in Passion Week. It has been a
"moving experience" for all. . .
