Scarlet

how deep was it?
pierced in your hands and feet?
suffocating
yet you still cried out forgive them
And what’s more
is that if you lived through it all
you would have went through more
for me
would have died a thousand times
for me

I should be the one
with metal in my hands
I should be the one
with splinters in my back
I should be the one
with a circle of pain on my head
Yet to You
We’re all worth it.

You spilled out your blood
scarlet spots of love cascading from that tree
the red stain of your mercy
washes me clean
how can I compare?
to this display of mercy
what have i done to deserve
this scarlet gif of love?
nothing
this scarlet gift of love does not compare to me

I want to see this world
through your eyes
I want to show them all Your love
make truth of, all these lies
Who am I to comprise Your love?
Sometimes we try to widen Your narrow road
Who am I to do that?
And be scared of what others think
After what you did for us
Being ridiculed is an honor
