Today is not that day; a Good Friday reflection

April 22nd, 2011

One day we will share lives with those who will stand with us in our hour of need

Today is not that day

One day there will be relief from our stress and fears

Today is not that day

Alone

Plead

Tears

Sweat

Blood

One day there may be trust, friends who will not betray us

Today is not that day

One day there may be peace and not violence

Today is not that day

Push

Shove

Strike

Confused

Capture

One day there will be fairness and justice

Today is not that day

One day there will be honor and respect

Today is not that day

Shout

Jeer

Ridicule

Pain

Pain!

One day they will lift me up,

but not in this way

One day they will reach for me,

but not in this way

Beaten

Bruised

Wounded

Pierced

Crushed

One day this suffering will end

Today is not that day

One day you will hold me again

Today is not that day

Thirst

Tired

Why?

Forsaken

Death

One day there will be love, joy, peace.

Life.

Today is not that day
