Mercy

Instrumental euphony plays amongst us so gently
Heart is filled with a divine inspired conviction
Eyes stare upward at the monumental cross intently

Mind shutters of His body enduring such affliction
Chills cover me in remembrance of His unselfishness

Eyes fill up with tears as I am yearning to scream
“Jesus, I want to touch you and your worthiness,
May your light flow into me as a river in a stream”

You died for me and you’re the reason why I live

thats very pretty, and emotional, even though i am not religous anymore, i still enjoyed it as far as the writing part goes.

[A.r. Bazian]

hmmmm... pretty religious... the emotion is strong and is obviously genuine...
i liked it!
i'm aspired by your devotion and your insight... though we do not share the same conviction nor the same spirituality... but i was intensely touched!
keep it up!

So true and every knee will bow. For He is the king of glory. The intellectual and the ignorant shall all be amazed when God's wisdom is revealed. For we all need His real mercy and and His real grace. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my Justjenn_2u, this is simply beautiful. I can see you have embraced Jesus Christ, and he loves us so much. This should be a scripture that eveyone has on a notecard placed in their Bibles. Although profound, I'm speaking the truth. Thanks for this. nice job.

Institutionalized Christianity has made a sado-masochistic orgy of a shamanic-Gnostic ritual referring to everyone's cross-roads re egoity or transcendence.

Emotional empathy with a literalizing of the crucifixion can be sensitizing, if not unduly bought as an unidentified pagan sacrifice, the "dying for sins" number that is psycho-pathological. "Sin" is lack of intelligence re the Great Matter of Existence Itself, and is invariably a self-fulfilling prophecy of suffering, if not a full-on wallow.

Spirituality is a subject as -- no, MORE -- precise than science, and obviously more demanding. Without transcendence-in-place of all opinionated attachments, there is no real spiritual intelligence. The crisp whole insight that God is the great orphaned Clearing of such Awareness, makes it disturbingly clear why most religious stories don't do much more than maintain a cohesion to willful dysfunctionality. Even the bible refers to "by their fruits shall you know them" -- WHERE ARE THE FRUITS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM? Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta are NOT religions in this mythic sense, because they contain ACTUAL PRACTICES for the Awakening from second-hand illusions. OK, there IS an inner tradition to Christianity, and Islam -- the contemplative tradition of the Desert Fathers, of Meister Eckhart, and the Sufism of Rumi. But this is as far beyond BELIEVING a mythic construct as a yogi in meditation is beyond a street babbler. And significantly, the mainstream exoteric politics of Christianity and Islam have a dark persistent history of murdering their own esoteric mystics. There have been untold numbers of "Jesuses" slain and unslain, and we all evolve into that archetype.

Salvationism is not glorious. It IS the affliction referred to.

Your lines are well-written, but I feel strongly about this issue, and the only way I can address it even more directly, besides meticulously rewriting the above is to say this: the being on the cross is YOU and ME and EVERYONE.
