Soldier, did you know?
Did you know the flow you released for me?
Did you know captives were being set free?
Did you know the Treasure that hit the ground?
Did you know the life beneath the spiny crown?
Could you feel the power of the spattering?
What soiled you there could make you clean.
Did you wash it off?
Another guilty man's blood?
Did you know it would have been yours instead?
Was it just another day?
Was it just another death?
What you did thoughtlessly
has fully paid my debt.
Were you numb and callous?
Did you know His story well?
Were you reluctant or eager?
Were you proud or ashamed?
Did you know how precious His willingness?
He did it for me
He did it for you
Every drop you spilled
He intentionally poured.
All for love
All for glory
Did you wash Him off?
Or come to depend
on the covering of His blood
to cover all your sin?
What was filth to you
has washed me clean,
Whiter than snow, righteousness
He let you do it.
Praise the Holy One.
