Lent

Often seen as a time to

Leave behind or quit

Is really a time forward

Recovering loving God


It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey of relenting

Giving up all that is past

Giving up to God’s grace

Giving up my heart to God


It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey discovering love

The love of God for me

The love for God from me

The love of those God loves


It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey hoping God will die

Hoping our Love wouldn’t

Hoping that our Love will

Hoping we deserve such Love


It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey to Jerusalem

To see His glorification

To see our evil disgrace

To see tears on His face



It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey to the Garden of pain

To see bloods first horrible stain

To feel His souls deep strain

To see His face set once again


It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey to judgment seat

To see the Judge being judged

To see civilization ripped apart

To see our fear and its horror


It is a time of preparation

It is a time of anticipation

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey to the God’s cross

Nails pale to pain of His loss

Loss of His Father’s love

Love lost so love can be gained

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


A journey to Mary holding

The body of her beloved Son

The body of her dead God

The body of her redeemer

A journey to the empty tomb

To see Life resurrected to life

To see our Life brought to life

To see Life not longer empty

It is a time of participation

It is a time for glorification


Walk with me God through Lent

Or should I say walk with You

Resurrect Your life within me

Oh My Love to become like You 3/15/17
