Why The Cross?

God turned and faced his only son,

pointed at creation and said "what have I done"?

His heart was broken for

Jesus at Gethsemane

Father, would you hide me
in the thistle and thorn
in the hole of the worm
in stalks of the corn
Take

They crown Him with thorns,

He did not complain,

They divide His robe,

He did not say anything,

They beat Him with rod,

Some believe in a force, or a spirit, or a man

I believe in a concept, a mindset, a plan

Jesus did exist so long ago

Out walking last night
I realized
I wasn't alone
When I saw the hem
Of his white robe
The dogs didn't notice
Too busy sniffing
