I Believe

 

 

I believe Jesus viewed the future

And He gave His life for me

He stretched His arms upon the Cross

And died on that famous tree

 

 

He had my name upon His tongue

His lips were cracked and dry

He begged for my forgiveness

As a tear fell from His eye

 

 

I’m sure my many sins cut deep

Like the crown of thorns upon His head

Crimson droplets fell to the ground

But that wasn’t all the blood He shed

 

 

He could have stopped the beating

In His eyes my face he saw

He bore the pain of my punishment

And told His angels to withdraw

 

 

My many sins must have stung

As they nailed His hands and feet

He nailed them to the Cross that day

All my wickedness and my deceit

 

 

He lifted His voice to heaven

As he gazed upon the crowd

Father forgive them; they know not

His voice was strong, but not loud

 

 

 

 

He knew I would call His name

On the crucifixion day long ago

Willingly He paid the price

My sins, I can now let go

 

 

His grace was bestowed upon me

I thank my God in heaven each day

That my Lord and Savior died in my stead

And washed all my sins away

[An owl on the moon]

Such a powerful hymn of praise. Can sense the beauty of the music flowing through the lifting words!

[Tina Kline]

Well written and very inspiring. This poems flows so nicely it greatly enhances the joy of reading it. It's very positive too. Its a 'good feeling' poem!

[Corvus]

Well written, with a pretty good flow. There were some parts where the stanzas seemed a bit off, but it was still pretty good. Amen to everything you said!

[Iota]

I really like how you wrote about his crucifixion in poetry, it was very different to me. It read with a nice flow, and I have to say this is pretty good. bravo
