This is a confession of sorts. A story.. It is part of my "Spoken Word" works...
I am here to tell you a story of something that happened,
And yes, I took part in it, huh I even led it
No I am not proud of what I did,
But this story has to be told, I have to get this off my chest!
So please! Lend me your ears and pay close attention!!!

There are many things in my life I have done that I am not proud of:
I have been filled with anger, hate and deceit,
And yes, I've even been filled with pervisions
But I have only been broken, by one thing...

You see these hands, these hands have shed the blood of an innocent man
Sin I was proud to call mine own
Made a very special whip, to rip the flesh from his bones
Drink it up!
Toke it up!
Party it up!
Do what you gotta do to kill the pain inside
I thought, as I tore into his body with thirty-nine stripes
I just don't need your way!
Who are you?! Who is He?!
This self proclaimed King!!!
I got my ways! My daze!
I don't need salvation!
I don't need to be reborn!!!

I screamed, as I crowned Him with thorns!!!
Spit upon and ripped the beard from his face
In the midst of this, something sinister happened
And I knew in that moment!
That something evil, something darker than a thousand midnights
Crawled into my heart,and I was going to take a life...

See, I led a blood-filled, hate- filled, selfish mob
And yelled out!
Crucify! Crucify! Cruci- LET ME LIVE MY OWN LIFE!!

Then upon his bloodied and broken body I placed a tree
Led HIM up a hill called Calvary
Where my anger, my hate, turned into something more evil
And I drove three nails through HIS hands and feet
All the while mocking HIS NAME
I lifted up that tree for all the world to see
Trying to put HIM to an open shame

There you go O' KING!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I laughed
SAVE YOURSELF NOT ME!!!
And I was proud of my work to see!
As He hung there, bleeding
As He hung there, dying
I grinned, O' so happily

Then out of nowhere,
As HE hung there, Something not so funny happened

It was like I couldn't breathe
The air kept disappearing, and my sin began to squeeze
Then I dropped my head as I fell to my knees
When I looked up, it was like for the first time I could see
And what I saw wasn't funny or exciting
It was mine own iniquity!
And it was down right disgusting!!!

Tears started forming, and my heart started pounding
I tried to look away and run
But in a moment of time
A light hit the sky as His eyes met mine
HE said, as HE drew HIS last breath,
"IT IS FINISHED."

See, there are many things in my life
I have done, that I am not proud of
I have been filled with anger, hate and deceit
And yes, I have even been filled with perversions

But I have only been broken
By this one thing,

I, with mine own two hands
CRUCIFIED MY KING...
