DRAWN
To Calvary I went,
not by intent,
not by any plan,
or by will of man;
Pulled by invisible strings
which somehow brings
the soul of man
into HIS plan;
Finding a need that was not
though it had been bought
a great price paid
for a cornerstone laid.
At Calvary I fell,
somehow up away from hell
to see His face
on that torturous place;
Never knowing the direction now sent
so soon after that time spent
yet lifted as on demand
by the Master’s hand;
Aching as yet another tear rolled
and my mouth openly extolled
true gratitude expressed
where once darkness was impressed.
From Calvary I rose up
following Him to a place to sup
no sorrow upon His face
no anger upon Him any place;
Hungering I ate the life given
finally learning why I was livin’
no longer an accident in time
rather a desired person on a climb;
Choosing the upward path of hope
without need for a man-made rope
scaling the heights with glee
knowing at last I was in faith free.
After Calvary I began a dance
out of true purpose not of chance
transported up to face the throne
finally at last no longer alone;
For Calvary was the door that drew me home.
