God's Rejected Redeemer! Poem by Denis Martindale

When Jesus Christ was led away
Towards Golgotha's shame,
The angels stared, amazed that day,
The world no more the same...
As Heaven watched, did silence reign?
Did worship cease to be?
As if good reason to refrain
Because of Calvary?

Though Jesus worshipped in the past,
Disciples joining in,
This very day, perhaps His last,
He suffered for Man's sin...
The soldiers saw His blood descend
From thorns pressed to His brow,
His Mother there, beside His friend,
Still asking God, 'What now? '

The closing minutes came in time,
Yet Christ no rescue sought,
His courage proved to be sublime,
Until His final thought...
No man on Earth was privy to
The secrets in His mind,
Yet on this day, Christ died for you...
For me... and all Mankind...
