Today I remember
When they dragged you away
Spat on your holy face
Beat your innocence
Cursed your righteousness
And accused you of things you did not do.
It was for me
And those like me
That you endured the day
Oh dreadful day.
Oh terrible day
When the universe shuddered at our blasphemy
And God turned from you in turning toward us.
Today I remember
And pause to worship the bloody feet
The beaten brow
The torn back
The face plucked of beard.
Oh dreadful day
When angels wept at God's wrath
Satisfied by God's terrible love.
Oh wonderful, awe-filled day.
I remember and say
"Thanks be to God who gives us the victory
Through our Lord Jesus Christ."
