The Walk

With a crown of thorns upon his head
and blood running down his cheek
Jesus took the cross upon his back
and started down the street

Each step was filled with agony
and excruciating pain
But Jesus knew His destiny
and what the world would gain

He had a purpose for every step
and a reason for every stumble
And though the crowd mocked him
Jesus remained humble

The first step was for the homeless
and those who have no bed
The second he took for the teenager
who's holding a gun to his head

The third he took for the sick
and those lame and scarred
The fourth he took for the alcoholic
passed out at the local bar

On the fifth His heart was broken
for His mind was not on the tomb
but on the cry of an unborn child
murdered in its mother's womb

The sixth step was for the drug addict
with a needle in his vein
The seventh was for the soldier
wounded and in pain

At this point His flesh grew weak
and His legs began to give out
The weight of the cross came down on Him
and the crowd began to shout

Then Simon took the cross from the LORD
and started down the road
Though the weight had been lifted
Jesus still bore the load

He walked on to Calvary
where he gave His life for all
This was the start of the church
and every believer has a call

Take up your cross and follow me
are the words that Jesus said
These words are found in the Bible
the book that's hardly read

Things have changed in the church
There is a lot of talk
But will you follow Christ's example
Will you walk the walk?

  - David P. Christie
