For you



And I stood still,

Before Pilate,

Expecting a plea;

A plea to get me free,

A freedom that costs,

That costs your freedom,

So I thought,

I thought of you;

Formed in my image,

Same image my father called 'good.'

And I stood there still,

Waiting,

Waiting for Pilate’s verdict;

And I remembered,

I remembered I am, the Good Shepherd.



And I walked still,

Like a lamb,

The Calvary’s Lamb;

Speechless to the slaughter,

Smacks and spanks,

Bruises and blows,

‘No mercy!’ they shouted,

No mercy for the sinless;

Sinless birth,

Tender friend,

Still lead away in thorns,

Striped of clothing;

I remembered you,

Naked at Eden,

Needing back father’s Glory.



And I hung still,

Cursed on a tree,

There on Golgotha’s hill;

Chastised for your peace,

Pierced for iniquities hiss,

Nail borne there,

Watching till the finish,

The finished offering;

For the right to be called sons,

Sons of the most High,

The right to live above,

Above death and sin.

So I remember;

That today you’d call me,

Both Lord and brother.
