In a court of law, stood a man accused. His
head hung low, feeling sad and used. He
tried to show the beauty of love and peace to
a world filled with hate and fear. Meekly
wept for our souls, as He was beaten and
pained to tears.
Jury cried, “Death!”, and He was nailed to a
Tree. The crowd mocked the prisoner yet He
emitted no plea. Said, “With the sealing of
My fate, I set you All Free!”.
His Soul rose to His Father and said, “Thy will
be done. Today, Satan has been caged;
power over him, has been won!”
And the guards shook in awe as the ground
crumbled, day turned to night; lightning
cracked and thunder boomed. The ultimate
ironic paradox; with Man’s most savage act
of innocent slaughter, he has been saved
from Eternal Doom!
Now the price of Man seemed too much for
its worth, yet through blood, sweat and tears,
He lovingly paid the fare, and when it was
finished, He sighed and asked His Father, “Do
you think their hearts will continue to be
bare?”
“My Son, if they desire, believe, and are True;
the very Love you have displayed today can
be found each time they fall to their knees
and ask for guidance, through You!”
Love
