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 preparation
It is a time of anticipation
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
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 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 preparation
It is a time of anticipation
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
