XIV by Theandric
Wrapped in a shroud of silence
Your sacred body without breath
Swallowed by the stillness
Our Lord was put to death
Where else can I go?
You had the words of everlasting life
But now you lie in darkness
And all I have is tears
My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Suffering is joy when your heart is filled with love.
I walked this Way with your sins upon my back.
My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Unless the grain of wheat falls to earth and dies,
It remains just a grain of wheat.
Take up your cross and follow after me.
I am the Life that Death cannot defeat.
