treachery’s grasp
storm clouds darkest hour
dawn’s hope rises

mankind freed from sin
words spoken in a garden
He has Risen

In Christ Alone #easter #poetry
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
Broken Egg #happyeaster #poetry
All the king’s horses
All the king’s men
couldn’t put anything
together again
Here I lie broken
listless and cracked
there’s one who has risen
will take the world back
So I look to the cross
He will set all wrongs right
today He has risen
there’s love in His light
*
Doubt in the darkness
son breaks through world’s clouds
Easter dawns with HOPE
Sharing today’s post with GodInterest and the poets united Poetry Pantry. Wishing each of you a most blessed Easter.
A Dark Day #Maundythursday
up a path fraught with malice
the dear savior walked
bearing pain human suffering
ugly jeers, rocks were tossed
love welled in His heart
for the lost, you and me
suffering He bore all sin
left on Calvary’s tree
“He was despised and rejected2 by men;
a man of sorrows,3 and acquainted with4 grief;5
and as one from whom men hide their faces6
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”
Isaiah 53:3

Darkest Hour
through the darkest hour
every tree top in the forest
adorned with a star (Ese)
the earth quaked in sorrow
man had crucified God’s Son
Good Friday is a day that the earth mourns the death of bright hope. This supreme sacrifice was intended to set the prisoners free from the shackles of sin. And so we celebrate with misty tears the dark day when Love died.
