He died for our sins, pain coursing through His skin.

with holes in His hands,

and a spear in His side,

His ears filled with cheering,

then crying, then quiet.

All the while, praying to our Father,

for every mother,brother, and daughter.

With blood trickeling from His crown,

slowly and painfully, He began to look down.

He looked at His mother, grieving and in tears,

then at the others, who were angry or in fear.

With arms stretched wide,

atear fell from His eye.

As He breathed His last breath,

and gave Himself up,

He quietly whispered,

I love you this much.
