so when all was said and done then
on that day emptier than any other
Your broken body hung there
Your bloody sacrifice seeping into
the ground
in the shadow of that dreadful day
the Father’s heart had turned away
You had bourn all our sin and shame
the world had changed, never ever
be the same
when all the jeers and insults with
venom had been screamed
and spit and blood had mingled
just the crown of thorns remained
i could recognise myself there
staring at a man
i could even hear my voice there
laughing at the pain
so when all was said and done then
or that was what I thought
the cost of that great sacrifice
a sinner/ rapist/ murderer/ thief/
gossip/ slanderer
yes, my salvation bought
when all that i had ever done and
yet
would do in years to come
was there on that cross of love
the world became strangely dim
and then it was just
me
and
Him
