Beside the Still Waters

Lamb of God

 

Lamb of God

upon His head – thorns

that jeer their ruler;

struck with the palms of hands -

 strike their Creator

 

A purple robe, title crude,

the Christ, is crowned.

 

Led to Calvary,

silent, the Lamb

Of God

 

All of nature sighs;

the Christ lifted on high

‘Son of God’ –

a centurion’s cry

eyes opened to cruel irony:

 

Christ crucified

    Who is the artist of the about painting of the lamb with its feet tied?
    Where can I get a print of that?
