we are so
separated from Jesus
from that
time, that place,
from the way
of the cross
the way to
salvation
through His
example, His life
the world so
different
we truly are
lost
nothing of the
world
the way of the
flesh
only the
cross,
the hope for
us
the way of
Jesus
the way He
showed for us
as He walked
on the earth
the challenge
of Lent,
why we slow
down,
to feel the
weight of these days
to put the
pieces together,
to breathe the
smoke of the burning palms
to lay our
lives down, to sacrifice,
as Christ did
before us
in these days
walking, a journey,
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
that this was not cheap grace
To truly know
how much this grace cost
when Christ
died for us.
