Poetry
we tell the story once again
that lead up to the cross
the tragic hopeful tale of Love
redeeming every loss
***
the King of kings and Lord of lords
is crucified on earth
self-sacrificing Love the way
the world receives new birth
***
Lord help us trust Thy gracious Love
in times of trial and woe
remembering that Thy own wounds
go deeper than we know
***
we do not suffer by ourselves
see on the distant hill
a cross precedes an empty tomb
keep faith take heart be still
***
the gracious faithful Love of God
arose in Christ to guide
those who follow to a peace
unknown by mortal pride
***
the rumors cannot be dispelled
the legend only grows
the shadow of the cross remains
the faith that Love arose
***
the Greatest Story Ever Told
could be a web of lies
or may truly point us to
a Love that never dies
