The Cross

I may never understand
Every mystery of your cross
The work that was completed there;
The endless love that you displayed.

Yet whatever we believe
History does not dispute
The place; the sight; the moment
When Jesus bore its pain.

And whether I struggle to receive
Its gift of eternity,
Or see my very self
Defined by its hope and purpose

Hold me in its shadow
And draw me to its truth - AMEN
