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,
the third man looked on me.
And oh, the hurt in this man's eyes
just broke my heart in two!
It seemed that I could hear him say
" I'm doing this all for you."
I knelt beneath the third man's cross,
And humblely bowed my head,
I reached out and I touched his feet,
And it stained my hand's with blood.
In agonizing pain he cried and
I raised my eyes to see;
The blood spilled from the third man's side
some of it fell on me.
The third man wore a crown of thorns,
Spikes held him to the tree,
I heard him say, "My God, My God,
hast thou forsaken me?"
There among the mighty crowd,
The ones who mocked Him cried
"If thou art King then save thyself
And then the third man died.
Suddenly, I heard the thunder roll and
the lightening pierce the sky.
The third man was still hanging there,
And I began to cry.
I saw the mountains break into
the buildings rent and twain,
I saw the dead raise from the grave and walk on earth again. A day like this has never been, twas darkness everywhere...
And when I awaken,
from my dream;
My eyes were filled with tears.
