Happy Easter............

The Silent One
Author: Mrs. V. Darlene Anderson



I was there for His trial and His scourging,

when they accused Him of crimes He'd not done;

But I spoke not a word in His defense,

I was "The Silent One."

I was there as He struggled up Calvary,

as dark clouds covered the sun;

And when they nailed His torn flesh to the cross,

I was "The Silent One."

I was there when they cast lots for His garment,

As they jeered and heckled in fun;

And when the spear was thrust deep in His side,

I was "The Silent One."

I saw Him die for all mankind,

And when it was "finished" and done;

He raised Himself up as He promised,

yet-I was "The Silent One."

And now,

everyday I encounter,

lost souls sent my way by God's Son;

Still I act as though I don't know Him,

I am "The Silent One."

Dear Lord, when at last I'm before you,

when my race on earth is run;

Will you speak up for me to the Father?

Or will YOU be "The Silent One?"
