Good Friday
“Am I a stone, and not a sheep, That I can stand, O Christ, beneath Thy cross, To number drop by drop Thy blood’s slow loss, And yet not weep?
Not so those women loved Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter, weeping bitterly; Not so the thief was moved;Not so the Sun and Moon Which hid their faces in a starless sky,
A horror of great darkness at broad noon – I, only I.Yet give not o’er, But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock; Greater than Moses, turn and look once more And smite a rock.”
–Christina Rossetti, “Good Friday”

Awesome poem. And one of my favorite singers. Made my day/week, Anna.
I’m so glad, Erroll. 🙂
Speechless…..
Thank you so very much Anna
Absolutely Beautiful ….
Even in our silence, He sees our hearts. He knows our sorrow and holds us close.
Happy Easter to you Anna, thank you for your work and words on behalf of those who know the pain of abuse.
Thank you, Anna. Love the song, the poem, one of bare honesty without which we cannot humbly plead with our “Greater than Moses.”
