(from Zechariah 12:10b)

I. 
Jesus, You are holy!
Jesus, You are holey!


II. 
from Your holes: Your five, gaping lacerations
has bled the Blood that wholly rescues the lost.
from wounds on Your Brow, residue of your crown
has trickled the flood of red-grace hydrations.
from Your side, speared after counting the cost
came blood and water gushing, our sin to drown.
from Your pierced feet, spiked to the deathly cross
leaks the rushing tides, carrying us from all loss.


III.
Jesus, You are holy!
Jesus, You are holey!


IV.
from Your holes has leaked out: abiding eternity
- into the confines of time and its resident restraints.
(the consoling message of lasting life and bliss).
from Your holes, drips the hope of palpable glee
the agelessness that refashions the hearts of saints
the enduring promise of enduring (heaven's kiss);
robust existence without clocks or even calendars
has dribbled out, altering our days and forevers.


V.
Lord Jesus, thankfully, You are holy!
Lord Jesus, thankfully, You are holey!
