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
And a third man
He looked at me
And oh, the hurt in this man's eyes
It just broke my heart in two
And it seemed I could hear Him say
"Son, I'm doing this for you"
I knelt beneath the third man's cross
And slowly 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
The 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
And I heard him say
"Oh God, my God
Why hast Thou forsaken me?"
And there within the mighty crowd
The ones who mocked Him cried
"King, save Thyself if Thou art King"
And then the third man died
Suddenly
I heard the thunder roll
I saw the lightening pierce the sky
Then third man was still hanging there
And I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall
And heard the breaking of the ground
Then I awoke
And though I dreamed
I touched my cheek and found
My eyes were wet
Where I had cried
A dream I wished I knew
I still can hear
The third man say
"I'm doing this
For you"
