AT THE HILL

AT THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE JESUS WILL STAND,

HE WILL BE THERE TO GREET YOU WITH HIS OUTSTRETCHED HANDS.

THE HEART HE EXPOSES WILL BE A SYMBOL TO ALL

THAT THEY HAVE RESPONDED TO HIS BECK AND CALL.

YOU WILL RETRACE EVERY STEP THAT JESUS HAD WALKED,

EACH TIME THAT HE FELL, AND WITH WHOM HE HAD TALKED.

YOU WILL REMEMBER THE BLOOD THAT MY SON HAD SHED

FROM THE FLESH THAT WAS TORN AND THE CROWN ON HIS HEAD.

YOU WILL REMEMBER THE TOMB WHERE HIS BODY WAS LAID;

THERE THE SINS OF MANKIND BY HIS DEATH HAD BEEN PAID.

AFTER SHARING HIS PASSION AND YOU CLIMB UP THE HILL,

YOU WILL SEE THAT MY SON IS AWAITING YOU STILL.

HE WILL ONCE AGAIN HIS TRUE LOVE EXPOSE

BY SHARING HIS HEART AS ON THE DAY THAT HE ROSE.

GIVE GLORY AND PRAISE TO THE RISEN LORD

AND OPEN YOUR HEART TO HIS HOLY WORD.

AFTER YOU SPEAK TO MY SON AND RETURN TO THE CROSS,

YOU WILL HAVE WALKED IN THE FOOTSTEPS WHERE MY SON WAS.

I ASK YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, BE NOT LED ASTRAY

BUT FOLLOW GOD’S FOOTSTEPS AS HE WALKS WITH YOU EACH DAY.
