A wooden cross.
Saved for the worst
The thieves
The murderes
A death for an animal
Stabbed in the side
He died so slowly and painfully.
Why would he do that for me?
The Son of God died that death
To save me
An unworthy being
A sinner
Why?
He died for me
Why?
Why did he take away my pain?
Why does he know my name?
That wooden cross is a symbol of love
