Coaxing gently, You ask of me
To give You this dearly loved treasure.
I acquiesce, albeit reluctantly
And surrender a small part….
But You gave Your life
Whispering silently, Your eyes pleading,
You lovingly wait out my stubborn indifference;
Hoping I’ll lay down my arms
And relinquish control in full……
But You gave Your life
Your patience astounds,Your love overwhelms.
Your chiding yet compassionate tears fall freely,
As I desperately cling
And fear the end result of Your asking….
But You gave Your life
You stretch out Your hand.
With the nails imprint branding Your beauty,
I see the scars radiating Your love
And fall to my knees….
For You gave Your life
How can anything less than everything
Be a fitting offering for You,
My Life, my Love, my God
For You gave Your life.
