Psalm 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
OH LORD, MY GOD, MY SAVIOUR, PASSOVER ME WITH THY HOLY SPIRIT
OH ! WHERE IS THE LOVER OF MY SOUL, NOW
I CLUTCH AT THE PAIN IN MY CHEST
AS I ASCENDED THE HILL AND AT THE TOP, I GASP
I NOW SEE WHERE THE LOVER OF MY SOUL HAS GONE
THE SKY IS GREY, DARK, DARK GREY, FOREBODING GREY
AND THERE ON THE CREST OF YONDER HILL
MY LOVE, MY LOVE, HANGS ON A CROSS
I APPROACH, APPREHENSION, SORROW, AWE ENVELOPES ME
MAKING ME PRESS FORWARD WHEN I FEAR NOT TO
AND THERE AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
I RAISE A TREMBLING HAND TO MY LIPS
AND ONE EXTENDED TOWARDS THE WOOD
THE FIGURE ABOVE AROUSES TO MY PRESENCE
PAIN ETCHED IN HIS LOVELY FACE AND YET
A LOVING SMILE, ONE SO STRONG IT REACHES DOWN AND EMBRACES
IT CURVES THE PALING LIPS OF HIS
AND AS IF HE SPOKE TO ME WITHOUT WORDS
I KNEW WHY HE WAS HERE, THE LOVER OF MY SOUL
I'M CRUSHED, SO MUCH SHAME, SUCH FILTH AM I
AS I CRUMBLE TO THE GROUND AND CRY
FOR NOW I SEE MYSELF, THE REAL ME
I CAN NEVER LOOK IN A MIRROR OR WALK A STREET AGAIN
FOR I HAVE KILLED THE LOVER OF MY SOUL
WITH THE UGLINESS IN ME
I RAISE MY TEAR STAINED FACE TO GAZE UPON HIS
" I'M SORRY I DID NOT KNOW " PAIN WELLED UP IN ME
WITH WHISPERS SO SOFT, I HEARD HIS VOICE
"I KNOW YOU DIDN'T, YET I LOVED YOU AND STILL DO. GO HOME AND WAIT "

excerpt from Poem - THE LOVER OF MY SOUL by Candace Barlow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Galatians 2:20
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I RISE UP IN THE MORNING AND LOOK FOR THE SUN
BUT SORROW IS MY TOUCH AND SADNESS IS MY STATE
THERE ARE NO DANCING SUNBEAMS
THEY HANG AS THOUGH TO WEEP
OH ! WHERE IS THE LOVER OF MY SOUL, NOW
I DROP MY GAZE, I CAN CRY NO MORE
I'M EMPTY, TRULY, TRULY EMPTY, NOW
I FELT A HAND ON MY SHOULDER
I BRUSH IT AWAY FOR DESIRE OF LONELINESS
BUT IT PERSISTS, I LOOK UP
AND KNOW WHERE THE LOVER OF MY SOUL IS
1 Corinthians 5:7[NIV]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast–as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Passover - Festival of Liberation
Kadesh...Zeman cheiruteinu - the season of our freedom...
The Freedom to Passover from darkness into Light
Heavenly Father we lay down our lives to you, and Praise thy Holy Name for giving us your Precious Son Jesus Christ that we may be reunited with You. May we comprehend what you have done for us during this Passover/Easter time. Amen
