What was the excuse
He gave that day
when he rose from
the table
determined to betray?
The Passover lamb
had just washed his feet,
wiped them dry
and said,
“One is not clean.”
But it wasn’t only
for this sinner Christ
bore the shame.
His stripes and lashes
wore my transgressions
and my name.
“No excuses.
Lord, head, hands,
and feet.”
Jesus, I give you all of me.
Peace and grace,
Tammy
