Eight

[The Family Table Devotions]

Grieved your God

To his heart

In the Ark, eight

Through the water

To recreate

 

 

Called to the Lord

"Son of David

Have mercy"

Followed on the road

With sight restored

 

 

Hosanna, they sang

Rode the colt

Through the crowd

Eight days later

Resurrection

 

 

Did the renewed eyes

See the Passion?

A prophet on a cross.

Forsaken, body broken

God again in grief?

 

 

Through the water

Through the crowd

Eight, not just to live

But to renew

A ransom for many

 

 

Eight follows

After the rest

On the seventh day

God works again

Hosanna, our God saves

 

Based on Mark 10:46-11:11
