Forgive Them

I cannot bear to think
What He went through that day
When they nailed Him to that wooden cross
As His Mother knelt to pray.

Did He shout with words of anger,
Did He struggle, did He fight…
Or did he turn His eyes toward Heaven
To His Father and the light.

He didn't cry for vengeance,
As His body filled with pain
He didn't beg for mercy
As His life began to wane.

I picture His sweet Mother
As at His feet she knelt
Such suffering and anguish
Imagine how she felt.

With one last burst of strength
He spoke these words so true,

"Forgive them Father…

For they know not what they do."
