THE REVEALER by CAROLINE GILTINAN

First Line: TIME WAS I SAW CHRIST'S BODY
Last Line: HOW LOVE IS CRUCIFIED.
Subject(s): CRUCIFIXION; JESUS CHRIST; JESUS CHRIST - CRUCIFIXION;

Time was I saw Christ's body
And could not understand
The thorn-crowned head, the bleeding feet,
The nail that pierced each hand.

But Life came and then I knew:
Oh, blood from God's opened side,
I know and shall forever know
How Love is crucified.
