A Cool Cloth

Oh how Our Lord was beat by men who had no heart Spit upon by people on the street in all playing a part So weary must He'd been hearing those mocking jeers Here to conquer our sin I can only offer up my tears So many with their fist in the air and mouths opened wide Suddenly right there, this woman came to Our Lords Side A cool cloth in her hand and a loving touch from her heart Just the thought is grand but Veronica actually filled that part She didn't care what they said for she did not put herself first Wiping Our Lord's Face as He bled, a love that was unrehearsed She went right past the roman guard maybe caught by surprise As it's not that hard imaging Veronica looking up into Jesus' eyes As Jesus is now passing by you with others cursing Him by Name What are You going to do, are you too going to join in their shame Or are you going to run to His Side with such a cool cloth in hand I know St. Veronica was glad she tried in this you must understand
