Who am I?
With no special purpose,
traveling upward,
unsure of my destination.
Where am I?
Steep hill appears.
Jeers permeate the air,
abominable stench pervades eerie summit.
Who is that woman?
Why is she so burdened, forlorn?
Who is the One,
beaten, bruised,
bearing a cross,
gasping for breathe,
being mocked, ridiculed,
with thorn-filled crown,
bloodshot eyes exuding compassion,
scarcely able to endure?
What’s happening?
I’m moving toward an open hand!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Pierce faultless flesh,
crimson spurts forth,
covers me,
drips to the ground -
red pool of redemption.
Who am I?
One who attaches
innocence to a cross,
holds merciful Savior in place
as He fulfills prophesies foretold,
provides pardon for sinful human race.
Who am I?
Scar provider
of blessed Son,
resurrected Prince of Peace,
who resides in celestial paradise
and sits at His Father’s right hand
