Maundy Thursday...

From one of my favorite bands that I am rediscovering. I thought especially meaningful this Holy Week.
Lyrics from the song Around My Neck

The cross I wear around my neck, what does it mean
if it does not mean death? Please tell me
if it doesn't mean blood
or nails or crying
or loneliness.

The cross I wear around my neck, what is it for
if it is not for breaking?
If it's not for pain
or nakedness
or hammering.

The cross I wear around my neck is being raised above my head
and I think this time it's wearing someone else
I see it drop into the ground
and when it falls I hear the sound
of someone crying
"I love you"

The cross I wear around my neck, what does it mean
if it does not mean love? Please tell me
if it doesn't sing
of hope and healing
and forgiveness.

The cross I wear around my neck, who is it for
if it is not for me?
If it's not for sin
and all my searching for the innocence.

The cross I wear around my neck is being raised above my head
and I think this time it's wearing someone else
I see it drop into the ground
and when it fall I hear the sound
of someone screaming
"I love you"

The cross I wear around my neck, who is it for
if it is not for us?
The lame and the blind
the ones held captive
and the fatherless...
