The Third Man
Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's
lonely hill, the things I saw with my own eyes.
could not have been more real.
I saw upon three crosses, three men in agony,
Two cried out for mercy.. But the third man.
just looked at me.
Oh, the pain in this man's eyes broke my heart
in two! It seemed I could hear the third man say.
" I'm doing this for you "
I knelt beneath the third man's cross, And slowly
bowed my head, I reached out to touch his feet,
And I stained my hands with red.
And when I heard him cry in pain, I raised my eyes
to see, blood spilled from the third man's side..
And some of it spilled on me.
The third man wore a crown of thorns, Spikes
held him to the tree, I heard him cry my God, my God,
Why hast thou forsaken me?"
And those who mocked him cried,
"King...save Thyself if thou art King,"
And then the third man died,
I heard the thunder roll, and saw the lighting
pierce the Sky, The third man was still hanging there,
and then I began to cry.
I heard the boulder fall, and saw the breaking of
the ground, And I awoke and though I dreamed,
I touched my cheek, and found my eyes were,
wet were I had cried.
A dream I wish I knew..
for I can still hear the third man say,
" I'm doing this for you"
