Melt, melt away the cares and problems of this life,
Discard from thought the daily pressures that you have,
Think on Eternity and what will last,
Scrap from your mind the dross of human effort.
Go back in time to when Love paid a cost
So vast as to tower above the expanse of human grief,
Grasp in these moments the dreadful depths of evil in this world,
"The King of The Jews" crucified for you!
Dark darkness covers this world of sin and shame,
The Holy Son of a Righteous God
Nailed between earth and heaven,
Three hours the heart of Heaven stops,
As angels tightly grip their swords
The Father on His precious Son could no more look.
Blood streaming from those loving hands and feet,
What cost those human souls?
The Centre of Eternity has come!
The greatest battle ever,
Raging round the cross!
Satanic hordes trying to taunt Him from the cruel nails,
As angels gasped - how could they understand!
Waiting for a signal to destroy mankind?
Could the Father let His Son now suffer so?
Could the Creator Son love mankind this much?
Eternity stands astride those three long hours,
A Silence in Heaven,
Angels had never known.
See all the sheep being gathered home!
Weak, bleeding, held safe by those pierced hands,
Following His path through the darkness of this world,
Following the blood stains,
His feet have left along the way.
