A-Poem-a-Day Until Resurrection Day
THE HEART-WRENCHING
CRY
Oh,
I am sure God heard it
as
He sat with His head in His hands
on
the edge of His great golden throne
moments
away from Victory
This
wasn’t the cry of physical pain
from
crucifixion nails
pressing
against Jesus’ pierced flesh
No,
this was different—
This
was the cry of…Abba, where are You?
the
utterance that shot from Earth to Heaven
from
the One He was One with
from
all eternity—
Why hast Thou
forsaken Me?
This
was the wuthering wail
from
despair’s deepest depth
as
sin of all the world fell upon
the
One who had never sinned
This
echoed Satan’s final snarl before
Atonement’s
Hallelujah!
and the Blood-washed expiation
of
my sin and yours
of
all sin past and present
sin of those yet unborn
those not yet conceived
sin of those who would not be born
for centuries and millenniums
This was the heart-wrenching cry before
It is
finished!
the nod
of Jesus’ thorn-crowned head
and His Father’s most solemn
Amen!
in Glory
