The Legacy
" No land , no home , not even a cave ,
As Isaac had to make His grave,
Had He ; No place to lay His head ,
Among the living or the dead.
No gold , no silver - to the bag
All went , that Judas carried ; rag
Of clothing , none was left ; the guard
Had all , and left Him not a shard .
His spirit loosed from fleshly bands ,
Bequeathed He to His Fathers hands ;
His body Joseph begged , and laid
In the new grave for Joseph made.
His mother I heard Him leave to John;
Only the cross He died upon ,
Some nails , and thorns had He to leave
To us ; then , brother , wherefore grieve ?"
