watch and wait
watch and wait
nothing else I can do
but watch and wait
as the drama unfolds
this seems the last chance
You could escape certain death
the clock is ticking
the scourging is ordered
before crucifixion
Pilate washes his hands
to be free of Your blood
but doesn’t he know
it’s Your blood which could save him?
why is he blind
to the Fount of salvation?
would I be blind too
were I there in the crowd?
would I scream “Crucify!”
would I care if You died?
it’s only Your own heart
which You’ve given to me
that sets me apart
from myself that could kill
it’s only Your grace
that separates me
from the cruelty of man
that inflicts suffering and pain
it’s only Your grace
a fine thin thread
the life line that keeps
me from falling into sin
O Lord, may I never
abandon You again
may I stay with You Lord
world without end
Amen… Amen…
