I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO HIM AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY,
YOU SEE, HIS SON WAS KILLED TODAY, IN A LAND SO FAR AWAY.
HIS SON HAD NOT DONE ONE THING WRONG, HE ONLY TRIED TO BE
THE KIND OF SON HIS FATHER RAISED HIM FOR, CONFIDENT AND FREE.
HE SHARED EVERYTHING HE KNEW, HE GAVE TILL THERE WAS NO MORE.
HE DIED SUCH A HORRIBLE, BRUTAL DEATH, HIS BODY TORN AND SORE.
HIS FATHER MUST BE MOURNING NOW, TO LOSE A SON SO FAIR,
HIS BROKEN HEART IS WEEPING, TEARS MUST FLOW BEYOND COMPARE.
I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO HIM AND LET HIM KNOW I GRIEVE
THAT HE HAS LOST HIS SON TODAY, AND HOW I DO BELIEVE
THAT HE DID NOT DIE IN VAIN, IT GOES BEYOND THE PALE
THAT HE SHOULD SUFFER ALL THAT PAIN, THE HAMMER
AND THE NAIL.
CAN I NOT GO AND TELL HIM WHAT MY HEART BELIEVES IS TRUE?
FOR GRIEF, ITSELF, HAS SWALLOWED HIM, HIS HEART IS
BLEEDING TOO.
FOR WHAT FATHER COULD GRIEVE MORE THAN THE ALMIGHT HOLY LORD.
WHO GAVE HIS ONLY SON FOR US, AND WITH JUST ONE ACCORD.
THAT, BY HIS BLOOD, WE COULD BE CLEANSED FROM ALL
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
AND DWELL WITH JESUS IN HEAVEN, AND DAILY, THERE, BE BLESSED
BY OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
YOU GAVE YOUR ONLY SON FOR US, WE'LL NEVER BE THE SAME.
SO WHEN YOU BEND YOUR KNEE TONIGHT, AND SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
JUST LET THE FATHER KNOW THAT YOU, WITH HIM, WILL TRULY SHARE
THE GRIEF OF LOSING HIS BELOVED SON, WHO DIED AT
CALVARY TO SAVE MY SOUL AND YOURS.
MY FRIEND.
