28.The Cross
The Lord was born to die,
Yet it was so hard that He prayed in
Gethsemane,
Till His sweat dropped to the ground as blood.
Via Dolorosa!
He fell again and again
When He went up the hill of Golgotha.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent.
He did not open His mouth.
He went on the path of obedience.
On the hill of Golgotha,
His hands and feet were nailed to the cross.
His side was pierced by a spear.
He shed the precious blood of salvation.
Now,the wind brings the songs of birds.
Ofgrass and of splendid wild flowers.
They whisper that His death brought life to us...
