bread of life

The stones cry out as your blood stains the dust
You stumble on and on down the final road
Every breath you take is a cry to stop
to turn from this path You have chosen

The sun beats down upon your wounded head
Wicked words rain down all around

Yet silence you keep as you give all else

Your life for a world in darkness

Before the world was made

You knew the day would come

The day You laid down Your life
Before You breathed life into me
You laid down Your life for the world

 

The grasses fade and blow in the wind

Your bones ache, and the dust is bitter

You lay down Your life, and they pierce your hands

They raise You high, and all eyes are on You
 


John 6:32-58; 15:13

 


 

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

~ John 15:13
