‘You Set Us Free’

On Calvary He died for you and me🌹

‘You Set Us Free’

Oh

The cross
At Calvary

Where you
Gave your
Life
To set us
Free

You suffered
Gods will
The cup did
Not
Pass
You by

You knew
In time
You would
Die

In sinless
Blame
You walked
In pain

They threw
Their
Shame
Upon
Your name

In silent
Suffering
No words
Worth
Muttering

You glorified
His name
In selfless
Pain

A crown of
Thorns
Your flesh
Was torn

They beat you
Till you
Bled
Without
One word
Being said

The blood
It poured
And
Your love
Claimed
Eternity

Upon
Her knees
Your mothers
Pleas
Weren’t
Heard

They laughed
And joked
While piercing
Metals
Your breath
Choked
As if some
Great
Big joke

On bended
Knees
You took
Each stroke
Of evil
Lashing
All for
Your
Passion

To overcome
Sin
Of flesh
And man

Your head
Did
Hang
While
Heaven
Rang
Out destiny

Your people sang
A song of pain

Oh what
Were they
To gain
Upon
This shame

You glorified
Your fathers
Name

Eternal
And forever
You shall
Reign

You rose
Again
And death
Has lost
It’s sting

For you
Are
Our risen
King

And our
Hearts
Shall forever
Sing

For suffering
And shame
Has earnt
A holy
Name

Oh death
Where
Is your
Sting.

dearest Kelly... while experiencing the cruel outcome of
the CoronaVirus... we are reminded of the Crown of Thorns
that our Lord and Saviour borne. We all have fallen to our knees
as we see how fragile life can be. May the stained glass windows
of hope bring light to your sacred trust and peace and goodwill be
magnified this Blessed Easter. truly, Pat
