Gathered at Golgotha

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might" (Deuteronomy 6:5). "Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice" (Psalm 50:5). "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.... and the disciple standing by, whom He loved.... And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus... came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.... And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, brought a mixture of aloes, about an hundred pound weight" (John 19:25-39).

Gathered at Golgotha's scene
Along with Mary, Jesus' mother,
We see there Mary Magdalene,
Another Mary, and a brother.

Joseph, a disciple, claimed
His body that was sacrificed.
Nicodemus, unashamed,
Brought his aloes, weighed and spiced.

Gathered at Golgotha thus
In spirit with this gathering,
What would God now have from us?
What do we now have to bring?

The Lord has told you His delight:
To love the Lord with all your heart,
With all your soul, and all your might;
There's nothing greater to impart!
