The Road to Calvary

The Road to Calvary

The road, long and difficult, to cross and heaven,

The one that to eternity extends,

Rejection, blood , and pain, and love that never

Can be described and understood to its full extent.

“I am ready, O Father,

I am going, give me strength”.

The crown of thorns and pushing, heavy beating,

And body torn by sticks and thongs with iron,

And all hell’s power ready to triumph and meeting

At sacrificial place, at the appointed hour.

“I am ready, O Father,

I am going, give me strength”.

“O Father, how hard it is to look at the crowds.

I know the nature of man. And still how hard.

Those who greeted me with joyful shouts,

When situation changed, shout ,"Be crucified!”.

But I will not allow doubts, for I know,

It’s will of Yours, O Father , and I obey.

The road’s difficult, but help me go

And fully take my cross and thus become the way

For them to You, so that they live forever,

O Father, they know not what they do, forgive”,

For the man who nailed Him, Jesus asked, as ever

He askes, and such love shook heaven and earth…”I give

My spirit to You . It’s finished, My Father.

I go, I go to You”. The dark has fallen on bloody land,

And so have tears of God from tormented heaven. No other

Way would have fit. Son of God has come to the end.

It’s finished . We are reconciled with God.

And Jesus, quintessence of goodness and love

Is still praying for us. Do you make Him the Lord

Of your life? Do you wait Him to come from above?
