A Tear Does Fall

A Tear Does Fall

 Darkness on the world in light of day

That light soon would push away.

The Maker's tears do fall to earth:

A high price paid for light's rebirth.

 

 

Innocent, pure, light within,

Though the Maker's Son would die for man.

Broken in body though righteous in soul

To His destiny the Son of Man did go.

 

There is a story that time does tell

Of the cross that bore Him well;

The sigil that stands 'till day's dark end

Above the plains of mortal sin.

 

To a hill was led a man

Cursed to die by law of land.

Though no fault was found in He

He was nailed to a cross on Calvary.

 

So badly broken of bone and blood,

But to wash the world in mercy's flood.

Love and light did dwell within

From which darkness flees 'till time's swift end.

 

On rough hewn timbers pierced with nail

Innocent blood flowed and fell.

For each drop shed a soul was cleansed.

In each fallen tear there was love without end.

 

One life given to make amends

For countless others in evil's den.

But in love's promise, risen once more

For glory's call in Heavenly lore.

 

Now beside a great throne sits He

In endless bounds of great eternity

Where those whose hearts He shares shall find a place

In a city of paradise and eternal grace.

To tell you the truth, after reading this I cried, because I could clearly see Christ on the cross crying and then being nailed to the cross, I really like the rhyme scheme you used beacuse it's an easy and comfortable rhyme for some to read and of course to write.

Thank you for writing this!
