There was one,
God--one, who loved you
with all his heart
and with all his soul.
In meekness and
gentleness he loved you,
knowing where this
would lead him.
He would be mocked,
insulted, spat upon,
flogged, killed. He knew this well.
For him alone our
soul waits in silence,
for from him comes
our salvation.
