Infinitely Great

Piled up high, infinitely great,
    a crushing weight

Remove? No angel army can,
    no mortal man

A gaze, not one, down from that throne,
    could bear alone

Guilt oozed your pores, stifled all moans,
    then from the dais, to your side,
    with arms spread wide, He cast aside 
A crushing weight no mortal man could bear alone
