Calvary Dreams

 

(A lone voice whispers)

I heard your voice
Today 

On Christmas Day 

That old well-loved

Familiar sound 

 
Whenever 
I pressed play 

So soft and sweet
I couldn't sleep 

But stand still
Weep and repeat 

Why does God
Give you such grief

Whenever
I hear her voice 

To then stand still 

In disbelief 

And then I remembered
Calvary 

A dark place
In human history 

Hanging
Painted 

In so many
Art Galleries 

So much wrong
Done to one 

So strong 

One crucified
For Mankind 

To sing a new song 

A new song
So all
Could belong 

To the light 

When their time came 

And they could no longer fight 

So now
Whenever

I hear your sweet voice 

Or your name
On Christmas Day 

Like today 

That familiar sound 
When I find the courage 

To press play 

To reminisce
About my true love 

On that special day 

And her incredible captivating spirituality 

I just know you're safe

Smiling down
Looking my way 

My beloved
Still loved 

Wife called
Valerie

Because Jesus died
For me and you 

Even though
Crucified 
By Evil 

But never alone 

At Calvary 

So we could all rise 

With the call of the
Golden Trombone 

To atone
To then enter 

Our true home

Under Gods 

Super Dome
