The Cross

V) God and neighbor, thief and savior
good and evil, on a steeple
South and North long and short
East and West Worst and Best
V) Christmas day and Easter morn
Restoration, curtain torn
Soul and mind heart and hand
Son of God, Son of man
CH) Opposites in each direction
birth, death and resurrection
All that’s won and all that’s lost
Come together in the cross
V) Flesh and spirit Draws us near it
Up and down, in and out
High up on a mountainside
halfway between the Earth and sky
(V) Wood and metal on the level
Well-Constructed still Corrupted
Punishment and sacrifice
Crown of thorns, roll the dice
