Ever-Present Sign

Upon my wall it hangs, on it You hang,
Your neck bore it to here, Your albatross,
each glance I cast upon it brings a pang,
Your ever-present Crucifixion cross.

Your suffering casts perspective on my own,
I need it when my faith is on the wane,
knowing You’re there, I can’t leave You alone,
with ever-present Crucifixion pain.

“Beloved Son,” I hear Your Father’s voice,
Your Holy Spirit hovers like a dove,
I see what saves me makes my heart rejoice,
Your ever-present Crucifixion love.

Hangs on my neck Your sign of victory,
You ever-present, crucified for me.
