At the Cross

His accusers mock, the crowds jeer,
His disciples, forlorn, dejected stand near.
He was rejected and despised by man,
He cried, "Father, forgive them", it's Your plan.

When we are put in a crucible in time,
It's only to temper us, our gold to refine.
His grace is sufficient to see us through,
He has promised, "I'll never leave you."

He wants to purge out all our dross,
He will if we come to the foot of the cross.
Judging ourselves, and not our brother,
For Jesus admonishes us to love one another.

Revive us Lord, give us harmony.
Search us, cleanse us, we need unity.
Above all else may we learn to pray,
And let us begin this very day!
