The Lord had been pleased to crush his servant with suffering.
If he offers his life in atonement.
How will it be our passing .
Have we taken all our life or lent.

I am thinking of my friend and colleague.
Cruelly taken from his brothers .
With service , he was always in league.
Always caring for others.

Not for him the lure of high office.
Or ambition.
Only public service .
A true rendition.

Now his life is given.
And our hearts are riven.

…….

Will they say of us
We gave our life in service
Or we thought of us

……,

See Isaiah 53: 10-11
