The Cross 2

The Cross 2

 

At first I didn’t hear it

The message of the cross

I just saw people wearing it

And didn’t think about the loss

It represented sadness

It represented pain

But now I know My Saviour

It represents gain

The gift of power to overcome

The gift of sacrifice

The gift of sweet humility

Not thinking of the price

The gift of keeping focused

On the things above

And then ultimately

The gift of freely given love

About the Poet
I live in Queensland Australia with my husband son and daughter. I love the Lord and it is my passion to express my faith in whatever way He inspires me to. At the moment it's poetry.
