No Cross To Bear
Listen to poem:
In Heaven there is no darkness
No shadows anywhere
No gloomy day or cloud of gray
No longing to be there
No thorn to prick your heart upon
No crown to bear your glory
No nail to hang your vengeance on
No cross to bear your story
No courts of fleeting justice
No plotting to indemnify
No tyranny or slavery
No obstacle to rectify
No silver pieces thrown about
No master to betray
No kiss of death upon a cheek
No noose to take away
No rabble in the streets
No spitting or demar
No climbing to Golgotha
No looming from afar
No weight of heavy burden
No knees for falling hard
No kicking from a Roman
No lashing from a guard
No hammer swing or piercing ring
No blood upon the ground
No cry of dreadful mourning
No mercy to be found
No God forsaken love is torn
No thrust of heaving spear
No drink of horrid mockery
No stream of falling tear
No fault to be forgiven for
No sins to wash away
No ignorance for what they do
No dying prayer to say
No robe to place a wager on
No bidding chance to win
No die is cast in ridicule
No cloth of shameful sin
No tomb to roll a stone away
No rising from the grave
No wound upon a sacred hand
No sinner for to save
No soul to rise or waiting throne
No flash of blinding light
No dove to guide the savior home
Unto the Father's right
