He Cares!...
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Raymond Sutherland
Other Poems by Raymond Sutherland


He cares!
Encompassed in these words
A Love Divine
The sound of hammer blows
A jeering crowd
A scourging so severe He chose as His...
All of which by rights
Should have been mine
Oh yes...He cares!

He cares!
Although the words seem paltry at first glance
Consider them in depth and you will find
That you may catch your breath
For Calvary is there
These words reveal the cross...the grave
The resurrection power  to save
Such love ...I can't explain
But yes...He cares!

He cares!
If I would be like Him
Then I must care as well
Religious theory's fine
But pray...How can you tell
If I am other than a sounding gong
Playing the old religious song?
He cares!
Do I?

He cares!
And surely it's but right that you should know
If I am true or false
Test my religiosity...my holy pedigree

Yet in deliberating
Forget the label that I wear
Examine rather...my hands...my feet
This guage I think is true and fair
Tell me...
Are there nail prints there?

About the Poet
My hope is that through the poems I write God will be glorified. I am reliant on the Holy Spirit for anything meaningful to say. I am 71 years of age, married with three of a family...a retired Policeman living in Aberdeen, Scotland. I play the Classical Guitar about grade4/5 level...and also paint after a fashion...although Van Gogh's in no danger!! I learned of this site from a Christian friend,Laurie Jenkins. I do hope that God blesses you through my poetry. Every Blessing in Christ, Raymond
