today I saw The Son of Man

get down on His Knees for me,

with open heart I asked my Lord

to help me understand,

pure and gentle Shepherd

Who loves us though we’re lost,

why bow Your Head

before the ones that put You

on that cross?

it gives us consolation,

we leave our troubles there,

we have the expiation from

all the sins we crave,

through all the love and patience

You so freely gave,

the mystery, the wonder,

of conquering the grave,

what other supplications

do You want us to share?

“when you show derision,

when heartaches lay you low,

Look Up! to the Victor,

to help you come to know,

the lesson of redemption,

humility of the soul”

today I saw my Father’s Son

get on His Knees for me

when He lifted up His Eyes

I couldn’t help but see

we owe our Gracious Father

for everything we share,

when we create beauty,

it is our humble duty,

to always take it there,

to the cross,

we owe it to the Father’s Son,

for what He gave for everyone,

we owe it to the Son of Man,

the Sacred Symbol of The Lamb,

we love Him and He heals our hearts,

so……....thank Him for this work of art,

called life,

it is our sacred duty,

to leave our pain,

our beauty,

at the Cross
