His holes enlarge as torment grows 
on wooden cross of ancient ways. 
His mother sees.  His pain she knows. 
Her agony remains for days. 

On wooden cross of ancient ways, 
between two thieves they number Him. 
Her agony remains for days. 
The Christ now dies, no broken limbs. 

Between two thieves they number Him 
where one accepts, the other spurns. 
The Christ now dies, no broken limbs, 
with truths for one of them who learns. 

Where one accepts the other spurns, 
and one is near, the other far 
With truths for one of them who learns 
Within, without, He knows our mar. 

And one is near, the other far. 
His mother sees.  His pain she knows. 
Within, without, He knows our mar. 
His holes enlarge as torment grows.
