Who faithful carries burdens
who in love bore the cross
only one God’s Son
willingly paid the price
sin a heavy anchor
none can loose its chains
but by the eternal victor
you are free from pain
why walk bent and broken
you can be set free
what a loving forfeit
Christ’s death on Calvary
*
Sins willingly bore
Risen no grave could hold
Jesus paid sin’s price
He whispered words of grace
balm against my anguished soul
massaging the world’s pointed pain
He touched with words of grace
sweet myrrh filled emptiness
healing my life-long scars
He planed with words of grace
sanding away cancerous decay
the shaving sno part of me
He walked away from grace
nails driven into eternity
sin abolished in sacrifice
HE lives words of grace
joyous love fills the soul
barren no more
*****
Wishing each of you a Happy Easter.
May your burdens be lifted
by
Grace
Passion led
man’s life to spill
His love
on Calvary’s hill
Passion fueled
an angry mob
insults and rocks
cruelly lobbed
Passion moved
the earth to shake
sky grew dark
bonds would break
Passion cried
in a tomb he lay
night filled hearts
but we await the day
This poem is in response to the prompt at Verse First/Poet’s United. The prompt is “Passion.” I don’t often write directly on my blog of my faith, but it is what holds me up on good days and on the very worst.

Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
