good friday: broken and blessed

O how broken this world
that it would take God's
impalement to redeem it.

O how stunning that God
would submit to that death
to heal it
rather than walking
away and letting it spin to its own
extinction, destroying itself
with every revolution, choking
on its own pride.

God's deep love was too strong
and could not
let it die...
even now His love prevails
over all His reasons to
walk
away.

Blessed be the name of the 
LORD.
