I HAD A PART

Throughout His sojourn here below, Integrally, I had a part In all His sufferings and His woe —

I helped to break the Saviour’s heart.

My thoughtless spirit closed a door In rustic Bethlehem one night; What shame, the Saviour to ignore, The Heav’nly Stranger thus to slight!

My heavy eyes, no doubt He saw,

As His disciples fell asleep;

Alas, unmindful of the awe,

My vigil, lo, I failed to keep.

The dawning light my shadow cast - In Pilate’s crowded judgment hall; “For or against,” a question vast, With strident voice, was asked of all.

My voice gave volume to the cry Which rang, “Away with Him, away!”

I cried with others, “Crucify!”

The multitude I helped to sway.

The nails which pierced the Saviour’s hands,

Were sharpened by my sins, I know; Yea, I assisted Romans bands,

My sins gave force to every blow.

He wore a crown whose every thorn Was pointed by my sin and shame; The thirst endured, the bitter scorn, This guilt I dare not to disclaim.

The gloom surrounding Christ that day Was deepened by my blinded sight; The levity, its rank display,

With it my guilty soul indict.

I thrust the spear which rent His side, I caused His holy Blood to flow;

I heard the Saviour as He cried, “Forgive!” unmindful of His woe.

The load of sin which broke the heart Of Christ upon the cruel Tree, Alas, ’twas mine, a major part,

He took my place to set me free.
