THE WALK

 

The crowd lined the way to the hill that day

A man named Jesus was making his way

Up the hill called Calvary...

Carrying his cross that was so heavy

No help to him was offered by any

Though the way was lined by many

There were rich and poor

Some in the open

Some behind their door

Under the weight

His back was bent

As farther up the hill he went

His eyes met mine

And I knew

This to be a sign

Would remember this Man for all time

I stepped forward..

“Let me carry it a ways, Lord"

I could do that with my black skin

He rested and then

Almost to the top

He shouldered it again

And with it…

He now carried my burden of sin
