GOOD FRIDAY in my heart! Fear and affright!
My thoughts are the Disciples when they fled,
My words the words that priest and soldier said,
My deed the spear to desecrate the dead.
And day, Thy death therein, is changed to night.
Then Easter in my heart sends up the sun.
My thoughts are Mary, when she turned to see.
My words are Peter, answering, -Lov-st thou Me?-
My deeds are all Thine own drawn close to Thee,
And night and day, since Thou dost rise, are one.
Good Friday In My Heart
