The cross I wear around my neck
What does it mean,
If it  does not mean
death....please tell me
If it doesn't mean blood,
or nails, or crying or loneliness?


The cross I wear around my neck
What is if for, if it is not for breaking
And if it's not for pain, or
nakedness, or hammering?

The cross I wear around my neck
is being raised above my head
I think this time it's wearing someone else
I see it drop into the ground and when it falls
I hear the sound
Someone crying...I love you:

The cross I wear around my neck
What does it mean, if it does not mean love...
please tell me
If it does not sing of hope and healing,
and forgiveness?

The cross I wear around my neck
Who is it for if it is not for me,
If it's not for sin,
and all my searching for, the innocence?

The cross I wear around my neck
is being raised above my head
I think this time it's wearing someone else
I see it drop into the ground and when it falls
I hear the sound
Someone crying...I love you:


The cross I wear around my neck
is being raised above my head
I think this time it¹s wearing someone else
I see it drop into the ground and when it falls
I hear the sound
Someone screaming...I love you:
The cross I wear around my neck
Who is it for, if it is not for us:
the lame, the  blind, the ones held captive,
and the fatherless?
