Arms stretched wide
very very wide
wide open
exceeding ninety degrees
both right and left
nailed, yes but willing, giving
the greatest giving ever
‘yeah, got ’em now’, they thought
…how wrong they were!
Look! The Father-pleasing son in adoration
See! The Master bowing to His Father’s call
What? Creator of the planet dying on his own hand-crafted wood
Oh! Pure love becomes garbage to pay the impossible price
Yes! The impossible chasm can now be crossed
Marvel! His last breath, he curses not
Wonder! He offers it all in adoration to the One He loves
The entire Universe pauses in awe
every angel stops in amazement
every demon gasps in horror
“Father, it’s complete. I’m all Yours”
(last gasp, then silence)
every angel falls facedown in adoration
every demon screams in pain
God of God, Light of Lights awe-struck, breathless
“Truly you are my Son”
“This, for them, so they could be with us”
(Selah)
