Golgotha " Calvariae Locus "

Through the streets i followed
Not believing my eyes
Three carrying crosses
Only two of them cried

We reached a place 
Called the hill of the skull
Golgotha " Calvariae Locus "
Calvary hill

Three holes in the soil
Were awaiting their fate
One for above
And two for hells gate

Bloodied and nailed
Impaled on natures wood
To quiet a faith
This is all they could

Their efforts were in vain
As higher powers intervened
When i looked through my eyes
On that Calvary hill scene

What did the Romans fear
From the one who wore the thorns
He who the people followed
For in the morning will be reborn

This is a magnificent account of the Calvary journey, James, and the way Christ bravely faced death on the cross. The Romans seemed very threatened by Christ's ability to communicate with and motivate the masses. Surely, they had no other reason to fear Him. Terrific writing, my friend! Much love and holiday wishes, Carolyn
