A Mission Of Love
Violent was the pain
Torn was the body
As He hung
in compassion
on the cross
for us
Sent by His Father
on a mission
of love
No one understood
the meaning of His sacrifice
Only the steadfast few
remained
that bleak and terrible day
when the physical heart of Christ
stopped beating
and the Temple veil was rent asunder
Such was the necessary path
to upturn evil
from its self-made throne
Such was the gift given
to restore the natural harmony
of the Universe
such were the tears
of Mary needed
for the healing of the world
and such
was the gift
of life
freely given
by
the Son.
