Rejoice!

He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!

You carried the cross all through the street

None of them cared or tried to understand

You didn't give up, not even when you were beat

Your love is everlasting, strong, and beautiful

You went through it all and we could only weep

 

 

LORD, we'll never deserve your amazing love

We are all tragic sinners and lie at your feet

We do not even deserve the lovely dove

Your love is everlasting, strong, and beautiful

You went through it all and we could only weep

 

 

They nailed your right hand, your left hand, your feet

Laughed as you bled and stumbled down the road

They never bothered to offer you a seat

Your love is everlasting, strong, and beautiful

You went through it all and we could only weep

 

 

On the third day you rose and the stone rolled away

You were not yet finished here, but we never knew

Your disciples were shocked and were unsure of what to say

Your love is everlasting, strong, and beautiful

You are risen, indeed, and we all will rejoice!

This brought to mind the hymn "Rejoice in the lord always, and again I say rejoice" *sings tune* Darnit, now it's stuck in my head... :)
Nice poem. Great description of a 2000 year old scene.

This is really good, we will never deserve the love he has for us, my girlfriend and I recently watched The Passion Of The Christ (one of my favorite movies) at the youth group we go to, I had seen it before, but this was the first time my girlfriend had seen it, she was already a strong christian before seeing the movie, even though she didn't know exactly how much suffering he went through for us, but after seeing the movie and seeing how much he suffered for us, she became an even stronger christian. I don't know if you've ever seen that movie, but if you haven't you should.
