Back on the cross again.
Here I am taking
your pain
with me
again,
Here I am taking your sorrows.
Here I am taking your sins.
All of your
sins.
But do understand me this time,
won’t
you?
Do understand that it is not me
you should
believe in.
Do understand that it is in yourselves,
in
yourselves that you should believe.
For I am not your God,
but your conscience,
and am
willing
to be crucified again,
to
be buried again,
just so I can be nursed back
to
life again
in your love-full bosoms.
