This Day You will be with Me

Fr. Timothy J. Draper

 

At Your right side there I hung

On Your every word.

To Your jaws did cleave Your tongue,

Still Your voice I heard.

 

Pardon for them did You seek,

Sparing no excuse.

And Your humble heart so meek

Answered not abuse.

 

Whence I wondered: “What if I

Pardon, too, should seek?”

But recalling all my crimes

Stole my breath to speak.

Arms outstretched, You welcomed me

After all I’d done,

Mercifully questioning:

“Still from Me you run?"

 

“Having suffered in your pain,

Shouldering your cross,

When your love I sought in vain,

Then I grieved your loss.

 

“What you have to offer Me

Now to make amends

Is today’s fidelity,

And we shall be friends.”

 

“Jesus, please remember me!”

From the depths I cry.

“This day you will be with Me Nevermore to die.”
