nobody loves you.
Jesus quietly whispers from the cross,"I DO."
When the world harshly shouts you down-
you're nothing.
Jesus eternally whispers from the cross,"I DIED FOR YOU."
When the world savagely stomps on you-
you can't do it.
Jesus whispers sweetly from the cross,"YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU."
When the world billows and wails-
you're all alone.
Jesus hopefully whispers from the cross, "I, EVEN I, AM HE WHO COMFORTS YOU."
When the world sends out the lashes to your soul-
nobody's there for you.
Jesus whispers triumphantly from the cross,"HERE'S MY RIGHT HAND---
When the world pokes and prods-
stumble, fail, fall.
Jesus whispers truly from the cross,
"BUT THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD
SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH
THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES,
THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY,
THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT.
When the world grinds-
hurt, hurt.
Jesus whispers upliftingly from the cross,"INASMUCH AS YOU DID IT TO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN. YOU DID IT TO ME."
When the world relentlessly crashes you to your knees-
Jesus whispers from the cross,"HOLY,HOLY,HOLY IS THE LORD OF HOSTS;THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY."
Jesus whispers from the cross.
His whispers breathe life into the dry, cracked ravines of my ravaged soul.
Jesus whispers his grace, his hope, his life from the cross.
His whispers breathe life into the dry, fallen leaves of my dreams.
Jesus whispers from the cross.
His whispers breathe life into the murky depths of what is left behind.
Jesus whispers from the cross.
His whispers breathe life.
His whispers breathe light.
His whispers breathe truth.
