Lamb

crystal tears fall
heart rent crying
silence--hushing
my body--dying
bruised and bleeding
spreading darkness
light retracting
naked starkness
razor's edge
cutting--slicing
pounding sledge
death enticing
life poured out
all that I am
Son of God
Son of Man

joy resounding
light returning
heartbeat pounding
with holy yearning
darkness fleeing
chain fall broken
love and peace
my life it's token
the way made clear
by bloody torrent
no need to fear
black death abhorrent
redemption--love
all that I am
Son of God
Son of Man
