the challenge of Lent – v2

we are so separated from Jesus
from the way of the cross
the world so different
we truly are lost

the way to salvation
through His example, His life
nothing of the world
the way of the flesh
only the cross, the hope for us

the challenge of Lent,
for us to slow down,
to put the pieces together,
to breathe the smoke of the burning palms
to lay our lives down

trying to connect with that time
to walk barefoot on these stones,
to hear the lash and to see His blood spilled;
To truly know how much this grace cost
