Description
Because of me
Dripping red
On hard dark wood
Dark eyes closed for good
The ultimate price
For no good cause
I didn't deserve it
This wasn't the clause
I scorned you
And cursed
Mocked your face
Then slapped you
And 'showed you your place'
I did this to you
Not them!
Just I!
I killed you
So tell me, God
Why
Why did you take it?
The shame and the guilt
You took it all
And your pride did not wilt
Instead you look
At me
With eyes gentle and kind
And smile
Then quietly died
As I stand here
Head bowed in shame
I realize my folly
When I cursed your name
The sound of the slap
That rocked you side to side
The look in your eyes
As you hung there and died
Oh Christ
My Savior, my God
I don't deserve this
I owe you so much, God
So please take my life
And make it all yours
Kill me if you must
But I give it to you
My life is forever
Be rearranged
Never again
Will I curse your name
Your precious blood
In bright scarlet streams
Staining the wood
As you hang there
Because of me
