The Glory of the Cross

Between two thieves, one either side.
The Lord of life was crucified.
Men marvelled at a sight so rare,
And sitting down they watched Him there.
But none that saw could understand
Why darkness covered all the land.
And none who heard the cry "I Thirst",
Knew why the sinless one was cursed.
None understood those words so true,
"Father they know not what they do".
For God alone and none beside,
Knew what was done when Jesus died.
But ever since that blood stained day,
They eyes of men have turned that way.
And admitted life itself is lost,
Without the Glory of the Cross.

May our risen Saviour bless you.
