Facing Jesus, my Savior,
Christ before me, the Messiah,
while both of us are dying
beside Him on my own cross
seeing my spit upon Him
His blood pouring out
The crown of thorns we fashioned
by our turning from our God
not merely the guards that held Him
our sins the nails that put Him
into the temple, onto the altar,
up on that rugged cross
Hearing first-hand the prayers of Jesus
the Psalms, the ancient words,
begging to God for mercy on me
through the pain, excursion,
the agony of crucifixion,
His prayers moaned out aloud
Breathing for forgiveness
for them, for each one of us,
while Christ was in pain
there on our cross
that God would forgive us
those persecuting the Christ
His blood, His life, . . .
our sin sacrifice
pouring out of Him
with my spit still upon Him
my curse, my derision, my ridicule
of the Christ, the Son of God
His prayer moaned out
a whisper, a murmur
a breath, moans,
calling out a petition
for forgiveness, for healing
for me on that 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. . .
