Redeemed

That dangerous diadem which
Adorned the brow of my Savior
Punctured the flesh and then painted
Its own indecorous designs
In rivulets of scarlet and
Sweat through the cracks creases and crevices
Of a sacrificial countenance.
I inquire of my own nature
Do my crowns make me bleed?
Or did His dear blood make purchase of my waste?
