Lenten Devotion for March 19

















Indifference
by Studdart Kennedy

When Jesus came to Birmingham 
they simply passed him by.
They never hurt a hair of him 
they simply let him die.
For men had grown more tender
and they would not give him pain.
They only just passed down the street 
and left him in the rain.

Still Jesus cried, ‘Forgive them, for they 
know not what they do.’
And still it rained the wintry rain 
that drenched him through and through. 
The crowds went home and left the streets
without a soul to see.
And Jesus crouched against a wall 
and cried for Calvary.
