Compassion: To Suffer With

Is it worth it?
My soul wounded,
Heart broken,
Torn by the sound
Of child's silent cry?
Yes. This is why:
The enemy's crushed
Under your foot,
Victory's won,
The hard part is done.
So, does it matter?
Yes. This is why:
Because Christ desires
To not be alone,
He asks His beloved
Come share in His pain.
Do I have enough strength
To do this for You?
To bear up this cross,
To feel all this pain?
Yes. This is why:
I cannot rely
Upon my own strength.
So capture my heart,
Let me feel what You feel.
I give you my life,
It's all yours, O Lord.
