12 Became 11 By Michael Romani Eleven pipers piping played into the night A night of betrayal forced to come to light On a path to the cross and twelve became eleven As our Lord and savior ascended into heaven The stone rolled away revealing an empty tomb Where should been the fruit of Mary's womb Twelve learned seated there at the Master's feet Then were sent out to teach and make complete All of them the stock of the patriarch Abraham All of them born and raised inside the Holy Land One of them, thinking himself wiser than the Lord Betrayed Heaven for silver before falling on his sword Oh how Jesus must have wept to know this was His lot To know how many times since His mercy has been forgot The corner stone laid out the plan with His coordination As each of the Disciples received the calling of ordination In a First Commission, they spread gospel across nations In a full realization that journey was their destination In the Second Commission, the Lord broke down the wall Broke down the wall of separation so that each might recall There is no difference between the Lost Sheep and the Gentile There no submission to the cross that will suffer denial It was a command to go and teach this and not just sort of whim That all authority on earth and in Heaven was given unto Him For the Lord God gave salvation delivered as though from a friend With the blessed assurance that He would be there in the end To move us all from the power of Satan's deadly mayhem Who knew that it would bring the silent truth begun in Jerusalem The Keys of the Kingdom bind earth as bound in blessed Heaven And we remember this when we drink the cup and eat of bread unleaven (c) January 5, 2017 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
