Easter 1982 Poem by James Tipp

Tick-tick-tick-tick, Jesus!
Tick-tick-tick-tick, Jesus
Jesus! Are you ready?
Tick-tick –tick-tick
Jesus! Are you sure?
Tick-tick-tick-tick
That’s your heart
Its rhythm beating time.
Has there been enough?
Tick-tick –tick-tick
Can I change my mind?
Tick-tick –tick-tick
Son! ....... Father!
Tick-tick –tick-tick
I hear the blows
1-2-3
I feel the pain.
Darkness overcomes me
Tick-tick –tick-tick
How many seconds tick away
Till suddenly it’s light
The clock is silent
The grave is empty
Time has been defeated
Eternity beckons through Jesus
The door through which time died.
