Painted Red

Add bookmark
Hands pierced and blood flows
Hope spreads arms wide
Thorns pressed into the skull
Painting salvation red.

A mother weeps
People scoff
An act of mercy
Or a tale of many.

Arms reach out
To show the safety
Pierced hands and side proven
Love cost all and then
Forgiveness was painted red.

How do we know now
What eyes cannot see
Thousands of years of stories passed down
Each held together over and over
Can a lie live on so long?

Mercy must have died
The red drained from His side
Then His father cries for Him
And breathes new life into Him
Red is gone where scars now live.
