The Empty Cross

I closed my eyes and saw nothing there. I closed my eyes and saw the cross but it was bare. The cross of sin and shame where my Savior died stood alone on a hillside of the skull.

Stained with the blood He shed for you and me, for the whole entire world and for all that will ever be. It stands alone, for Jesus is at home sitting on the heavenly seat.

I closed my eyes and saw nothing there until the sun shone through the sky. I closed my eyes and opened them again to see Jesus standing by my side. He smiled at me and said all is forgiven; never worry, only believe that I belong to you, and you belong to ME.

I closed my eyes and opened them again, but I was left standing alone. I know my Savior lives within me because my heart is His home.

I closed my eyes and saw the light that was shone. No more darkness, I will walk in the light of His love from now on.
