Gazing at the wonder of the Cross<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we approach the most glorious time in the Christian’s calendar, I’ll post some poems I have written on the subject. The first is in response to the Word that tells us Jesus still bears the wounds in His body (He showed them to the disciples when He appeared to them). The second is because we are told He is constantly interceding for us. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOLY WOUNDS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh, to think that I, with all my stains of darkness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could stand before a God of white-hot holiness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not be burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What holy wounds that gain for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An entrance to the King!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Christ in all his glory, stays injured still for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His hands and feet, though brilliant bright<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay pierced and raw through all my sin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And plead each day my cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For as I sin, and blot my soul, and then repentant come<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Father from His awesome throne<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks down and sees his Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sees His Son take on my guilt and then it’s penalty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looks at me through holy wounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And says, \u201cMy son, you’re free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m free indeed and yet not free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m tethered by a bond so strong<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That holds me ever in his arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For how could I ignore a love so great<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And go my selfish way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those holy wounds produce in me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prayer spoke in Gethsemane<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet not my will, but Thine be done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come, live through me, beloved Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
