LOVE PROCLAIMED
by Effie Darlene Barba
What Love so great you have for me
More than this heart could ever see
That you would suffer on the cross
And never shirking from the cost
Your bleeding flesh torn from the bone
Darkness fell, You ne’er did groan
As Spirit, Soul ripped from your chest
You proved your love, no greater test
Alone and trembling from the pain
With body drenched in blood’s dark stain
You whispered then and called my name
Forgiveness, love You did proclaim
Oh, never let my passion die
Though pain of life would cause me cry
When facing pain, oh let me see
Thy face of Grace, your love for me
Oh never let my joy despair
And when in darkest, deepest lair
So, let this heart forever sing
A song of loving praise, my King
