Jesus bent and staggered under the weight of His load
for all our sins, His burden, as was foretold.
Up the hill He struggled, in anguish and pain
yet His love of even his accusers, He did maintain.
His life on earth coming to an end,
as His beaten and battered body up the hill did ascend,
the ultimate sacrifice our loving Savior did make
as He knew the salvation of man was at stake.
All of God's angles on High
cried and prayed as they watched Jesus suffer and die.
Their God of love with suffering and pain
held steadfast; His mission to sustain.
The Lord above rained down His tears and lightning flashed,
as He watched His only Son still in anguish from the lash.
His Son as God made man was leaving here
to return to God the Father, and transcend all His human fear.
The cross with its three points to bear
the weight of Jesus who was hanging there.
With His last breath, commending His Spirit to the Father above,
to join Him in Heaven as an act of total love.
Of His own choice and free will He accepted death.
Resisting all temptation, made salvation available with His last breath.
The heaveny choir of angels burst into song,
singing His praises among the throng.
How do we ever fully appreciate this miraculous gift?
The ultimate sacrifice that you made so as to lift
the burden of sin, which we carry within.
As He is raised in Heaven, we are privileged to be joined with Him.

Beautiful! This is very well written and the rhyme scheme was good. it teaches a great deal of truth and shares the Gospel message in a creative way. I would watch for spelling errors though-- this line
"All of Gods angles on High"
should be
"All of God's angels on high"
well done! |
