The day you died
Judas must have thought:
"This was a man who had loved me,
who gave me a chance when no one else could.
What have I done?!"
As the haze of deception clears from my eyes
All I could see is this crimson stain
on the floor
and it's all over my hands.
It's on my shirt,
It's even on my hair.
All I see is red.
The room is drenched in red.
Is this the gravity of my wrongs?
Is this the depth of my depravity?
How long had I cultivated my pride?
How long had I sought my own adoration?
Exhaustion sets in my bones.
I had longed for this moment,
to fully grasp how it is to hurt
a tender Man that I love.
How I wish that I were born
into such tenderness
that even through murder I would still be loved.
To honor.
What does that mean?
To love?
Did I even know what that meant?
But as Your blood turns to water that washes me free...
Only then do I realize what a relief it is that those crown of thorns you wore were not pushed upon my own head.
I pray to love You in only the way You deserve.
Meanwhile I cry, in my self-imposed exile.
