Today we start the third in our series of Easter Reflections
Symbols of Christ’s Passion and Resurrection
Cruel Nails and Crown of Thorns
Nails so cruel and thorny crown
Are the marks of his renown
Majesty, ne’er was there shown
As our death he dies, alone.
Those implements of death define
Our sin, the sentence and the crime
Not of this innocence divine
Who out of love hangs here for mine.
Lord of the cross and thorny crown
Your nail pierced hands, stretched to atone
Call me to take my cross and own
Your way to follow, yours alone.
I ask for strength your way to take
And if I falter or forsake,
Lord, touch my soul, me re-awake
And guide the journey I must make.
