He Could Have Called 10,000 Angels.

He Could Have Called 10,000 Angels…


 


On a cross… Jesus suffered


 for you and me.


He could have called 10,000


angels to set him free...


 


Nailed to this cross, he went


 through so much pain.


He knew his purpose and the


reason why he came.


 


Being there for all of mankind


was his choice.


Weakened and alone…


 One could hear his voice;


 


“Father forgive them.” 


 “They don't know what they’re doing!”


As the crowd listened…


 Many began believing.


 


“My God why have you forsaken me?”


 With one last breath…


And then...  And very quickly…


 There was death!


 


For all of the pain and suffering


 he was to endure


Was so that a plan of salvation


 is now secure.


 


This same Jesus, who was to rise again.


Is forever to be our atonement for sin!


 


Seated at the right hand


 of God the father... In heaven above..


He awaits there for us all with


 an abundance of  love!


 


Won’t you accept his gift


of life that he’s giving?


And allow him to forever change


 the way you’re living!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
