~If upon~ (Happy Easter everyone)

The Cross i stood before you
Would my eyes well in sadness
As you keep love in your eyes
While offering the world sacrificial truth.

A humble man of means
Heart to the people
From all walks in life.

Stead fast to educate right versus wrong
A prostitute to marry accepting her past.

If upon the Cross i stood before you
Would you teach me pure life
To settle my ways.

Growing up with not a faintest idea of whom you were
While the many filled with wrong held you in contempt.

Rocks been rolled
Thinking your fate is now sealed
A stalemate for now as the hours pass by.

Resurection arrives, at the final hour
Hands and feet healed
Now much work to be done.

well said bentlee. i would submit that whether a person is Christian or not, the notion that mankind is capable of a resurrection of higher motives and loves. ;-)
