Have you envisioned

  our Lord upon The Cross?

Have you seen

  those considered lost?

Did you notice

  the absence of Grace?

Did you observe

  tears staining His face?

Can you imagine

  the agony of His pain?

Have you accepted the Gift

  of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion

  Love was brokenhearted

and divine reconciliation

  was quietly started.

Christ mourned the souls

  who chose the path of rejection

and was sadden by their ignorance

  of His personally offered Salvation.

Days before Resurrection Sunday

  the silent tears of Christ fell,

having glimpsed the future in which…

   numerous souls were separated by hell.
