Father,
You watched as He walked by,
Helping and healing on this earth.
You watched Him suffer, heard His cry
And yet, You could not intervene-
But only watch.
You saw Him bear His cross’s load
To go to die at Calvary,
On that so long and painful road,
When nails
were driven through His hands
You saw His pain.
But when that dreadful hour was come,
Our Jesus had to bear our sins.
The Father blackened out the sun,
So none could see the Crucified
Give up His life.
The Father waits and watches us,
And sees each sorrow, every pain.
He looks to see in each loved face
The likeness of His firstborn Son
Shine out for Him.
Mark Humber 1/3/2003
