ever so aware. | Ansley Claire

if I was there, would I have been aware, 
aware that that was my Jesus, my Savior hanging there? 

in blood, in pain & tears, could I have known? would I have said?

Mary wailing, grasping at the Son's feet - 
but would I have hid in the crowd, veiled in fear? 
or would I have desperately tried to be in His place,
knowing it was I who belonged up there?

on a wooden cross displays a mere carpenter, or so they say.

would I have been aware &
unashamed to proclaim 
that this man was my most intimate friend
& the fulfilment of the prophecies we hold so dear?

out of the cross, He tore the veil.

& lifted up His perfect spirit on a sinners cross for all to view,
so that we all may know love,
but would I have been aware?
or, too, in bold agony for my bridegroom?

but I am not there, on Golgotha with Jesus. I am here

with Him.
& oh how I'm aware!
aware of His love for me so deep, flowing like a river. 
aware of my need. 

aware of how it was meant to be me. to take the cup. to drink from it. to suffer. to die. 

I am here, aware.
picking up my cross for my Jesus, ever so aware.

until next time & with love,
