This Is The Sight Of Love Dying

Rough cut blood stained beams
Shards of ripped off flesh
Naked body hanging in the sun
Cries of abandonment

This is the sight of love dying

Heart piercing insults
Criminals mocking 
Blood and tiers mingle on bruised cheeks
Vinegar poured into open wounds.

This is the sight of God dying

Nails piercing flesh
Lungs gasping for air
Stiffing joints racked with pain
Forgiveness for the killers

This is the sight of Christ Dying

Empty tomb
Empty cocoon of grave cloths
Divine blood on the mercy seat
Forgiveness for all who ask

This is the sight of love living
This is the sight of God living
This is the sight of Christ living
For in Christ love is alive.
