I Am Guilty

He is poured out like water
the gathered waters he called “seas”.

And like the seas,

he washes his people until they are free of all disease.
“If you are willing, make me clean”

the man came begging on his knees

“I am willing”, He said “be clean”

to this man he gave the keys

to the kingdom, the man went driving

told the world of all he’d seen

that they could be a son or daughter

of the Father who is unseen

Love at the price of slaughter

with this blood we’ve been redeemed

the God who brings us to the water

like his sheep in fields of green

This is what I mean:
He anointed the holy temple of his people

then those he appointed took a few too many sleep pills

In Gethsemene we see the sequel

of disciples who were Adam’s narcoleptic equal

veil torn; battle born with the destruction of the steeple

In 3 days he would rebuild

with a cross upon a steep hill

the promise of the gospel that humanity could be refill-ed

with the power of His glory, HOLY SPIRIT instilled

in the hearts of those who chose to love, who chose to do His will.

“Crucify Him” they yelled

Crucify the God of Is-ra-el!

Humbled to the point of death

you chose to give us your last breath

SO now we stand in awe

of the one who gave it all

the promises that the old testament addressed

were no longer exclusive to the way priests dressed

A final sacrif-ICE to atone for rights

would suff-ICE as an offering

to spark the light

within us the fire would ignite

a movement of love, of a willingness to fight

for peace; its the reason our Christ died

to come beside the helpless that’s why they crucified

him; even Peter 3x denied him; the blameless son of God they despised

him and nailed him to the cross thinking they could hide

sins. But there the sins stayed plastered

on the cross of innocence they festered

feeding on the flesh of love himself

the sins consumed the dove itself

While bibles stay up on our shelf

we crucify his flesh ourselves.
Not seeing that complacence keeps our light diminished

and stagnance keeps our might extinguished.

Jesus declared “it is finished”

his perfect love remains unblemished

and still we leave his work unfinished

by timing love and giving limits

by not stopping for just 2 minutes

His love is made complete

when we show them our receipt

“Paid in full” for all who’re incomplete

rather than walking in our vain conceit.
On the cross you prayed in anguish

crying out in another language
and there you hung upon a tree.

“Oh Messiah, hear my plea. ”

Father, Father can’t you see

​the guilty one is me.
