The Malefactor

You came to me One storm-swept night And lifted me up to the skies. From out of the torment I had known You showed me Paradise. My sins were great, Yet you forgave Far greater sins than mine, For you did bless The ones who made A mockery of your shrine. I feared to die For I had sinned And knew how the ending must come, I could not know I’d be chosen to share The cross with God’s own son.
