He stood alone.
Red fell from His face.
He walked past the crowds.
A crown of thrones for His disgrace.
Souls were numb.
Eyes were cold.
Hearts were hardened.
The young and old.
Cuts were open.
Lingering sting.
Dirtied and broken
No refuge or wing.
Wooden boards laden
His shoulders given.
Heart heavy
A weighted burden.
Few cried for Him
when He moaned and wailed.
Did any pray
as His wrists were nailed?
“It is done,”
with His one last breath.
The ground bled
at the sound of His death.
This was Grace
given to us.
A life for lives
we do not discuss.
He arose
joining the Father.
When He returns
who will bother?
The ground is bleeding still.
Blood of saints cries.
Reaching His ears.
When trumpet sounds they arise.
The earth will run red.
Wrath will not be quenched.
As fire rains down.
Fallen will be drenched.
All knees will bow.
No one else can plead.
The glory be His.
Last time the ground will bleed.
We’ll praise His glory.
Remember His life shed.
No one will forget
the day the ground bled.
Monthly Scripture – (NIV) Galatians 6:17, “From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.”
