The Cross

At the cross
His blood was spilled.
A sign to all 
our sins are forgiven, 
a betrayal that 
had meaning for those that 
believe. 
He was hung on the cross
so that we could live
a life eternal in 
God's love and grace. 
At the cross 
he hung, a thorn of 
crowns upon His head. 
A man, 
the son of God, 
born of the Virgin, 
who walked the earth and lived
as we all do. 
A sacrifice no mother 
can imagine, 
A sacrifice no father could 
fathom, 
His parents, earthly and His heavenly Father 
watch as the 
son they love,
died on the cross 
bleeding, beaten, 
and murdered. 
His death is our life, 
his suffering is our 
forgiveness of our sins. 
He died the death 
we should have suffered, 
for the wages of sin 
is death. 
He bore that cross for us, 
a sign of a love we can't 
imagine, 
a love we don't deserve. 
The cross is the symbol of 
all He has given for us. 
A sign 
made of wood, 
stained with His blood
and a reminder that 
to live our lives for God. 
To give Him the glory and pray for 
our forgiveness and the forgiveness 
others. 
A reminder of God's love and sacrifice for 
the children that he loves. 
The cross, 
a symbol like no other. 
A promise, 
not unlike the rainbow. 
A gift
of life and forgiveness. 
Where pain and torture took place, 
hope and love are 
replaced on that wooden cross.
