Impact Statement (Mark 10:32b)
“Disciples were amazed”, it reads, I see;
Those following were filled with fear indeed;
Apostles twelve? He took those men aside,
Spelled out for them approaching merry ride –“We’re going to go to Zion’s holy Hill;
The Son of Man they’ll capture, then they’ll kill;
But I’ll arise in three days, you will see;
Don’t hesitate, but walk this road with me.“It’s not your time to die this ’round, you’ll see,
It’s mine – it’s crucifixion time for me;
They think that they can keep me from my task,
With threat of death, this Passover at last.“But in the meantime take a look around,
And notice how reaction types are found –
Amazed are some, but those out at the fringe
Quite fearful are, and some are quite unhinged.“This is the way – and always it will be
As trouble brews, most people plainly see,
And ask, “Is this the place defined for me?
Or should I take a hike – a time to flee?”But when the time is right twixt God and man,
The grace will fall, and you will understand
That it’s okay to press on through the night,
And if you do, in God, things come out right.navigation
