Friday


Today you wept.
Today you were betrayed.
Today you were unfairly tried.
Today you were as silent as a sheep led to the slaughter.

Today you were scorned.
Today you were spat on.
Today you were hated.
Today you were beaten to the point of un-recognition.

Today you were abandoned.
Today you were denied.
Today you stood alone.
Today everyone stood against you.

Today you were traded.
Today you carried your cross.
Today you were crucified.
Today you did all things willingly.

Today you suffered.
Today you had compassion.
Today you breathed your last.
Today you claimed it to be finished.

Today you took my sin.
Today you took my shame.
Today you took my guilt.
Today I remember the cost of my freedom.

Today is Good Friday.
