My Journey to God

I Was Thinking of You

When I prayed in the garden and sweated drops of blood
I was prayerfully thinking of you.
When my heart was broken with the betrayal of a kiss
I was devotedly thinking of you.
When my friends turned and ran away in fear
I was courageously thinking of you.
When my enemies brutalized me and took me away in chains
I was mercifully thinking of you.
When I was jeered, despised, spit upon and falsely accused
I was justly thinking of you.
When my flesh was ripped from my bones and my blood poured out
I was sacrificially thinking of you.
When a crown of thorns was pierced deep into my brow
I was peacefully thinking of you.
When I carried my heavy cross on legs that could no longer stand
I was physically thinking of you.
When nails were driven through my hands and feet and I was lifted up on the cross
I was eternally thinking of you.
When insults were hurled in an attempt to get me to think of my own pain and suffering
I was selflessly thinking of you.
When I struggled to take my last painful breath
I was resolutely thinking of you.
When I descended into the depths of hell
I was protectively thinking of you.
When I rose from the dead and ascended into heaven in glorious victory
I was joyfully thinking of you.
Today, as I continue to rule over all things great and small for eternity
I am still lovingly thinking and singing over you.
