blood ransom

a bleeding corspe struggled up an unforgiving hill
two sticks on his back
humiliated, broken, pesevering only my will
he continues on this desperate road

a path he threads which leads to death
yet he boldly carries on
the load he carries, unmeasurable
the iniquities of a dying world

my own bare hands, nailed him to the cross
my voice in the crowd rang out mocking
and yet he took it all
the sin and shame
for a wretched scoffer like me

even then i rebel,
give in to my carnal nature
drawn to my misery, i forsake joy
yet he hangs with arms outstretched
bleeding for my redemption

such love, such grace, such beauty
potrayed in a murial painted with blood
a blood ransom so costly,
the proof of love
