You lie me not

You lie me not;
I’ve never been the one to sacrifice
That man who threefold death did face
And hung on a wooden post to die.

I’ve never forged those iron nails,
I’ve never made that timber cross,
I didn’t use to laugh at loss!
A woman’s tears wouldn’t curse…

The curtains were dividing worlds:
My home grace and out of doors,
Where people dooming Christ to death
Were leaving the Golgotha place.
