Last night I dreamed I took a walk Up Calvary's lonely hill. The things I saw with my own eyes Could not have been more real. I saw upon THREE crosses Three men in agony. Two cried out for mercy And the third Man looked at Me. Oh the hurt in this man's eyes Just broke my heart in two And it seems I could hear Him say "Son, I'm doing this for YOU." I knelt beneath the third Man's cross And slowly bowed my head. I reached out to touch His feet And it stained my hands with red. When I heard Him cry out in pain I raised my eyes to see The blood spilled from the third Man's side And some spilled on me. The third Man wore a crown of thorns. Spikes held Him to the tree. And I heard Him say, "Oh God, My God! Why hast Thou forsaken Me?" There within the mighty crowd, The ones who mocked Him cried, "King save ~ Thyself ~ If Thou art King And then the third Man died. Suddenly I heard the thunder roll, I saw lightning, pierce the sky. The third Man was still hanging there And I began to cry. I saw the boulders fall And heard the breaking of the ground Then I awoke and thought I'd dreamed I Touched my cheek and found-- My eyes were wet, where I had cried The dream I wish I knew. I still can hear the third Man say "I'm doing this for you" |
