He stood at the basin
where he has long stood
He looked down at the
water
still clear, after his
washing,
the stain not removed
innocent blood spilled
carried by him yet
I can hear his murmur
his regret every moment
his endless prayer of
confession
his head bowed at the
basin
trying to wash his hands
to ease his pain, to
still,
to quiet the storms in
his mind
My guilt remains
all too present,
an open wound, forever,
unhealed, open,
within my flesh, my
spirit
what did I do, how could
I be so evil,
when I crucified Christ
No matter the washing
the stain still there
my hands remaining
covered with his blood
the stain of conviction
my guilt remains, my sin,
in Christ going to the
cross

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. .
