for you MY child
Would you take a journey with me
a journey that is bitter-sweet
close your eyes, now picture the end
of a long and narrow street.
There is a hill with people gathered round.
A man upon a cross is what you've found.
His feet are pierced through with a spike
His body ripped
His hands by nails secure.
His head a crown of thorns surround,
within His eyes a glorious message said
" for you My child
I hang here in your stead "
