On Calvary

On Calvary
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Sans devoid and bare
Now and then I stare
Out there feeling bereft
My punctured lung bleeds
Feet wont dare to step
I am nailed so hard
The clouds go dapple drab
The sky emboss so somber
Robber and I either side
I came to fetch many faults..

Sans devoid I bare the load
Whom am I ?
Jesus from God
The saviour Messiah 
Who grants salvation
Confined and tied up
The will is done now
My covenant fullfilled
My compromise given
The time has dawned
So you may live.

Sans devoid and bare
I have borne the cross alone
On Calvary 
The loaded cross
Of forgiven sins
There will be images
Up a cross
In A world of great devide
No more snakes in wine
My hands and feet 
No longer bereft
I thirst

I ascend
I remember you ..
On Calvary
You sin and weep no more.
