Melancholic Joy

It cuts like a light;


It causes no fright,


But only to fear,


A savior brought near.


It seems a sad thing;


a life poured out for no thing.


Merely given in grace;


elected, to see His Face.


Fighters for purity;


His resurrected death is your surety:


The surgeon healer’s steady knife-


Is but the prune of sacrifice


Blood poured out in love to save, this melancholic joy.
