POEM ON CALVARY
Lord, I can hear you calling,
I can see the affection, the compassion in your eyes,
I can still hear your forsaken cries, the voice of you calling,
Lord, I know I can fathom less of your form,
But I know you want the best for me,
Lord, I can still hear their voices “crucify him”
At the last moment on Calvary –
You could still heal, the blind could see,
Your power was in you, because you are the power,
Lord I can fathom the pain, the agony,
The pain that I deserved-
That you took away,
And brought me salvation,
You gave me a chance,
To feel your presence again,
You brought me
From the abyss of darkness,
To a world of Light, the city of light
Lord, I stand firm in you,
To not let you shed blood in vain,
Lord, as we reckon your pain and sacrifice,
Give us renewal,
Give us the strength, health and courage
To combat the pandemic that still lurks in the world
