Selfless

Broken man came stumbling through,
Devil’s breaking, smashing, taking a cracking, at you,
He is doubled over, because the weight of his sins is heavy,
No smiles, no laughter, every pain, every stain,
Bent up face, hurt life living,
I’m never going to make it, says that man,
I will die, and be forgotten,
No hope, no grace,
Why?
Why do I live with all these pains?
A sudden light that brings him back,
His vision is cleared, empty fresh air,
His eyes wander over, things newly cleaned,
Stumbling over a scene,
Scene of blood, scene of unseen selfless love,
Ripped skin on a trembling body,
Jesus gasps for breath, and struggles to survive,
Crimson droplets fall, staining the dirt,
Shaking limbs, stretched back, pinned,
Slow death, hate death, pain death,
You, you put him there,
You look into his eyes,
And he says,
I did this for you,
What will you do for me?
