“He Hung On The Hillside”
He hung upon the hillside and looked down
On His beloved children.
He saw the tears and heard the sobs,
Mixed with the cries of pagan victory.
He felt the torment and His blood drained freely
As He took upon the sins of every generation everywhere.
His anguished eyes showed glory,
For He knew redemption was accomplished
As He offered His final prayer.
He stands on the Heavenly hilltop
And looks down upon His children.
He hears the glorious songs of praise
And adoration resounding in the air.
Yet He also hears the most timid voice
Of a beloved child’s prayer.
He reaches out to comfort those
Who struggle in this painful world.
He feeds and encourages those with needs,
Calls and enlightens those who teach His Word;
Strengthens and upholds those who serve with deeds.
He is ever present reaching out to touch
The heart of every living soul tenderly,
And I am humbly thankful, that in His mercy,
He reached out and touched me.
