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 it stained my hand's with red.
And when I heard him cry in pain,
I raised my eyes to see;

Blood spilled from the third man's side.
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?"
"King....O King save thyself
I heard the whole crowd cry

He looked upon them all with LOVE
and then the third man died.
I heard the thunder roll, and saw
lightening pierce the sky.

The third man was still hanging there,
and I began to cry.I heard the boulder
fall, and saw the breaking of the ground.
And then I awoke, and though I"d dreamed;

My heart inside did pound.I touched my
cheeks,they were wet with tears A DREAM?
I wished I knew I can still hear the third
man say,"I'm doing all this for you."
