Passion Soliloquy

 

Four comments from His lips

over less than one day’s span

Tell of His conquest

over sin and death

showing us the way,

This Son of Man

 

His humanity spark

momentarily,

Asking if He must “take this cup”

cup of our responsibility,

Next thought

the Father’s will

of His love

there is enough

 

Hanging up

looking down

Tilted heads skyward

eyes from the ground

“Forgive them Father,

they know not what they do”

Believing they silence me

Believing they follow you

 

This world’s sin

is truly great

and of His being

did it satiate

 

Sin bearing down

a burden too great to carry

yet not one minute

did He tarry

 

As heavy a ransom

as there could be

“Why my God oh why

have you forsaken me?”

Not forsaken

now I see

though you’ve turned away

 

Clearly now

of this world’s sin

not even a trace

shall transgress your face

 

For all who follow

and believe in me

there is eternal life

And to the faithful

of my words

certainly they will win it

Sins of all

now taken on

purpose and role fulfilled,

Finally, with one last breath,

“It is finished”.
