Old Cross

Old Cross

old cross
rugged
thou it be

like a seed planted
in the field

it gave life to you
and
it gives life
to me

stained red
the one that was on
that old cross
is not dead

risen savior
risen Lord
with a
double edged sword

dont have to think twice
there was no greater sacrifice
and
when push came to shove
He gave Himslef
out of
LOVE

all the blood shed
just for our sake
and
the power
to overcome
the snake

smacked hard once
so
turn the other cheek
then you will inherit the earth
because
you will be
one of the
meek


old cross rugged
though it be
it gave me eyes
to truly see

2010 HC Holbert

I must share this one with my pastor because he will love it as much as I do. THIS IS GREAT!!!!

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
