Who would follow Christ the King?

Who would follow
Christ the King?
Small & quiet,
Weeping, riding.

Wou would follow
Christ the King?
Homeless & humble;
Friends fleeing.

Who would follow
Christ the King?
Stripped & beaten;
Leaders rejoicing.

Who would follow
Christ the King?
Pierced & broken;
Women weeping.

Who would follow
Christ the King?
Cold & lifeless;
Creation groaning.

Who would follow
Christ the King?
Dead & gone;
Lovers hiding.

Who would follow
Christ the King?
Alive & well,
Breathing! Speaking!

I will follow
Christ the King.
Here forever!
Loving! Freeing!
