I hang stretched upon a naked tree
Pierced hands, pierced feet
Bleeding wounds -oh so many
A crown of thorns upon my head
About me stand my enemies
Laughing and deriding
Mocking me -but how I still love them
I created them each individually
Where is my God?
I am forsaken
Oh! How great are the sins on my soul!
Sins of which I am not guilty
A burden I took out of love
My children! I love thee!
My own! Come back to me!
Ah, how I thirst for souls!
Do you not see how much I love you?
Do you not see all these hurts?
Why, oh why, do you run from me,
When I long to gather you under my wings!
I gave you life -for your life I am dying
You scorn me, you leave me
No, don't turn away...
My children, I love thee...
My own, come back to me...
...I thirst.

I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!"

Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
Thanks so much.

I especially appreciate how you've woven lines straight out of Scripture into it.
