Maple Valley, Washington
Repose richly rewarded faithful servant
Your final thought God-centered, bringing praise
For the Lamb-bridged guilt spanned, hands now raise
In majestic surrender to Love. He plants
His knife cowardly, stabbed in your back; rants
Meaningless denials of guilt, so crazed
His jealous rejection of Redeeming Grace;
Dares God’s curse, marked man; for love, ever pants.
Blood soaks the ground now, a mute testimony
To the ages, which man must never deny;
For this space now proclaims your message, to cry
“Father forgive, forget his offense! Holy
Love now reach out to my wandering brother.
Let sacrifice nail conviction asunder.”
