I knew what was ahead -
heartbreaking farewell to the life I’d known on earth.
Yet I believed thoughts of you would sustain me
through the torture I was about to endure.
As I was beaten, as every lash tore open my skin,
I had thoughts of you etched in my mind.
As a thorn-filled crown pierced my skin,
each drop of blood that trickled down my face
only make me think of you more.
Just when I felt drained of all strength,
the cross was thrust upon My back -
heaviness nearly more than I could bare.
Searing sting of ragged wood
rubbed against my open wounds.
Still, with every step of that arduous journey to the hilltop,
I pictured your face.
While my hands and feet were nailed to the cross,
with every strike of the hammer on the spikes,
I imagined you in heaven with Me.
Hanging on the cross for all to see,
feeling their rejection to the core of my soul –
I still saw your face.
I recall the agony
each time my lungs filled with air and emptied again.
yet with each breath,
thoughts of you never ceased.
The most excruciating pain of all
was in those moments of separation from my beloved Father -
isolation, abandonment!
Even so, I would do it all again
to spend eternity with you!
