Best Maundy Thursday Poems

MAUNDY THURSDAY

The Upper Room was hushed that night,
 	As frightened friends supped their last as one.
Shoving back the morrow
	When their leader would be gone.

This is my body—broken for you;
	You are my beloved—take my blood, too.
Do this and as oft as you do it,
	Do it in...

Maundy Thursday, we know clearly,
The Christ did say: "Remember me..."

The ritual tale of the Master,
Washed feet availed, fond kiss rendered.

How humble then, that sacred act
Of loving grand in precious pact.

The supper room where The Christ held
A meal to groom those love would weld.

All twelve round...

When little you have to live for and far, 
 When righteousness your own for little counts, 
Knocked down and bruised and battered when you are, 
 When your wasted shadow forever haunts; 
When rites and rituals robbed are of magic, 
 Piety, pilgrimage, notso...

Kirby's no Catholic, at least he doesn't believe 
the Pope's infallible. Infallibility's for me, 
the one he counts on for treats under the table 
when no one is looking, or he trails me into 
his mistress's  laundry room, where 
doggy perks are stored along...

Meek moments meet true love that flows,
Ask for the truth that sets you free;
Urge grace most sweet to help us know,
Note succinct proof that bids us see;
Dream with pure heart the way of poise,
Yeshua broke bread to feed the soul.
Touch that deep art as faith...

He came and dwelt among men 
And shared a vision of heav'n;
To Him some opened their doors,
But more denied their favors.

With sinners He sat and supped;
Thus, others called Him corrupt.
But they did not understand:
He changed their hearts with His hand.

He walked and taught in byways
And...

Sense how fear wields a heavy hand,
Observe the truth in simple stance;
Lies surely yield betrayal friend,
Expect harsh proof in violent chance;


Meet evil hence with love most meek,
Note peaceful grace in supper last;
Mind bad moves thence vain murder seeks,
Apt turn of face in anguish cast;


Urge for...

Rejoice!
Your death is nigh,
And your birth is close by.
There is no time for tears, of sorrow.
Your time of joy is here, two days from tomorrow.

This is the day
We break the bread
Cup full of wine
To numb the head

This is the day
When truth reveals
The veil of lies
A mind conceals

This is the day
We knew would be
That thorny cap
Of destiny

Awaits the king
Of hearts and minds
Releasing all the
Chain that binds

This is the day
A final...
