The Crosses In My Eyes

I see you on the Calvary I've seen you carry the cross Wearing a crown of thorns I've seen you wearing my sins Pierced and bleeding I've seen the many crosses on you Me who is the Pontius Pilate, sometimes unsure of where I stand Me who is the people, ready to crucify you at any time Me who is the Barabbas, "freed" by my own sins Me who is the guards, always instilling more pain Me who is the golgotha, dry and empty Am a mess, i mess a lot My own doing, my deeds My own crosses, but You are ever so forgiving The blood stained crosses, the vision that lives in me The reminder of Your love for me Sponsor Justin Bordner Contest Name The Crosses In Your Eyes

this is So Beautiful to me....a wooden cross is my only piece of jewelry....I don't wear it for Him Who Died For us....I wear it for my own struggle, In God I Trust....;)
