Poetry
Is it I who bowed His head,
Who nailed Him to the tree,
Who caused His anguish and His pain,
O, Lord, could it be me?
Did I crown Him King of glory
Then when hardship came my way,
Did I run with all the others,
Did I fear what people say?
Did I proudly call Him, "Master"
Then proceed upon my own,
Did I crucify My Savior
And then walk my road alone?
Was it my sins that He died for,
My self-centeredness, my pride?
In my arrogance I shunned Him,
Did I cause the tears He cried?
Did my foolish pleasures hang Him,
Could His love I fail to see,
Would He still the cross have chosen
Even if it were just me?
"But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight--not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ in take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
For all have sinned, all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us."
Romans 3:21-25a (New Living Translation)

Powerful. Yes, tears brimming here too. Good reminder! Thank you.
Yes, it was me. This is truth, Carol, and humbleness revealed. He already knew it, but we must learn it is so. God bless you. :)
Carol, This is awesome and made me cry. I had to read it twice and I am sad to say, it was I too, who made Him suffer. May God continue to bless us with His words in your heart. Love you my friend . . . Debby
Carol, this is a question we should ask ourselves. How are we living our life? How does it affect our Savior?
