What have you seen
that draws praise
so easily from
your lips today?
what have you heard?
Has he touched your
heart too?
Have you known
and do you know the wonders
of his love?
Is it enough to keep you close
even though he leads you to his cross?
Is there another
you could go to,
one you could turn to
whose peace would match
the peace that he gives?
Will you watch with him
this week,
will you enter his story afresh,
and walk with him along the way,
beyond the cheers and palms
to Gethsemane’s depths, with
blood filled sweat and tears,
and prayers where groans replace words
for the anguish
is too deep?
Will you come to the hill,
where surrendering to nails
and thorns,
beaten and bloodied he gives
his all for you?,
His invitation
is given;
walk with me,
and I will lead you
through death to life again….
it is a cycle
that bears repeating.
