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 mean's cross, and slow-

ly 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...

and 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?"

And those who mocked him cried, "King...save Thyself

if thou art King!" and then the third man died.

I heard the thunder roll, and saw the lightening

pierce the sky. Then 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 thou I dreamed;

I touched my cheek And found my eyes were wet where

I had cried.

A DREAM? I wished I knew---I can still hear the

third man say, "I'm doing this for you."
