The Way of the Cross

You cupped my face into Your hands and looked me in the eye
“Your life is now in Me; it is to the world that you must die
Yes, it will be painful, to go the way of the cross
If you only find your life in this world, great will be your loss”

“I have much to show you, worlds that are yet unseen
You can live in both places, back and forth, between
Come, step forth in faith-I will show you how
I dwell outside of time, not just in the near and now”

“Come and listen to Wind’s Song*-it will take you places
Great will be My Presence that you’ll find in many faces
It is there-you will hear-My Words in others as they speak
You must learn, to then discern, and ask Me to critique”

“My ways are far above your ways, you can’t even know
Trust Me in the way I take you-in the Spirit’s flow
Great will be the joy you’ll find-to be in My perfect will
Come into the Secret Place, wait on Me, be still”
