Contemplating and meditating on the 7 Cries of Jesus on the Cross recorded in the gospels.
In this prayer, a reflection on what Christ has achieved as much as what He said, we are reminded that our requests, though they may seem large, are tiny compared for what Christ has in store for us. Jesus in his response to the thief went BIGGER and sooner than the meagre request. How much mercy was waiting to burst out for us in Christ!
Written and read by Sammy Davies
Inspired by Luke 23:39-43
Silently You suffered
A King concealed amongst criminals
Majesty unravelled and exposed
What a sight - even to those who hung stripped with You
To most a spectacle worthy of ridicule
But to some the truth at last revealed
How wonderful that You would enter in
How magnificent that You would stand in
How amazing that You would be our substitute
When questions and doubts and confusion abound
Your Cross supplies the answers
Your love, made broken flesh, the final word
Alone we are helpless
Alone we are exposed
But near You there is hope
Cause our faith to grow
Give us renewed conviction
Make us bold to approach our King
Even as we summon the courage to make our requests
Spying some small gift on some distant shore
You are preparing a lasting legacy to be received even today
Grace and Mercy are currency
So, silence the mocking in our ears
Silence the mocking in our hearts
Silence the fear that warns us to keep our distance
For You have said
To those who come
“Today - You will be with me”
Amen
