No such thing as dueling crosses

We do not have dueling crosses

And it is not flame against fire

We both fall before the Lord

And are branded for eternity above

We fight for what's already ours

Because we cannot fathom such a prize

I hurt because I hoard the prize

Denying that the portion is also yours

I don't know how to believe humility 

When "humility" slapped me in the face

I don't know how to piece a puzzle

With two different shapes

The cut in my heart

Is not a scratch

It requires healing from an everlasting Love

Let me be

To grieve my last grief

To shed my last tear

To wail of my last sorrow

To express my final anger

To fell my finite shame

To blot out my fear

Let me be.

Then we can walk the frontier together

We do not have dueling crosses

Because we share the same

Grief

Tears

Sorrow

Anger

Shame

Fear

And they fell at the same time

Because we also share the same

Christ. 

We shout,

You are the Christ. 

And he came to us both.
