Foot Of A Cross
Standing at the foot of a cross
I look up in remembrance
of the studied word
on this holy week day
I feel the tangs of sorrow
knowing that he was placed upon it
a time long ago for all the world to see
he died there so there would be a tomorrow
a better place for the likes of you and me
He watches over me with infamous glory
he has prepared a greener pasture of serenity
for with the sinners will I take my place in line
knowing that he await for me
when this life has run out of time
After torture no human could ever sustain
he arose again after three days to fulfill the scriptures
Jesus was his given name
he knew that it was time
for the burden of the sinners, he took all the blame
God's Word says he takes care of all
the righteous ones who have the call
the unrighteous ones that stumble and fall
Some things about the trinity
we can't explain or understand
some sail in uncharted waters
some claim Jesus was just a great man
Others claim they don�t know him
still others declare him untrue
yet I know he has come into my heart
he has with God's grace, forgiven me and you
So on this day of passover
remember the words he said
write them down and pass then along
to lost ones make sure this message is read
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never
walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

If you truly know JESUS, THERE ARE NO UNCHARTED WATERS..It is only those who don't know Him who are sinking....Drop me a line. I love to talk about Him...
Hey there. I had to read your poem a couple times to actually get it. But when I did I realized that it was a great work of art. I just wanted to say that I love this poem, and that I think that you have major talent. If you'd like to read some of my poems there under Jenay Lentz. I hope to maybe hear from you soon
Stunning work! It's wonderful that you emphasized the universality of Jesus' sacrifice, and the fact that he died for ALL of mankind. The unrighteous are still our brothers, and the righteous are still sinners; we are all in need of redemption.
