Time, it cannot melt the truth
Or wax itself unkind
I felt the pain, yet don’t regret
The love it left behind
–
The long long road
Built up in strength
Where God’s sweet mercy
Sowed in length
–
With needles hidden
Bound all wounds
Stopped the bleeding
Healed the pain
–
A place where all one’s pride
Must die
Where pity pays no mind to mix
Stupefying fights … all fixed
–
Where eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Give way for selfless mercies truth
One of loves greatest lessons
To be learned
–
On the cross
The work is done
The victory in Christ
Already won
