Redemption
Upon your eyes did I look,
upon the tree of destiny,
where Love Crucified hung so desperately.
Awaiting your judgement.
Friends watched.
Soldiers mocked.
Townsfolk jeered.
I saw you through my eyes, drowning in solitary tears.
Your arms spread out so openly,
your spirit fading.
The day became the night in the blink of an eye.
A temple's veil torn in half.
At your Father's one command you let out a cry,
slowly, silently, slipping from your life.
I gazed upon your lifeless body.
So lost am I,
frozen at the pinacle of the cross.
Shepherd me home where I am again safe with you.
Save me, Bread of My Soul.
Body of My Life.
Savior, Lord Jesus Christ.
Echoing your one ascending name,
again shall you rise.
Dancing away with all of my sins,
God of the Skies.
Giving me the chance to live again,
Redemption,
sweet Redemption.
