An Easter Celebration

Every year -- at this time,
I sense a terrible pain,
but then I read in Your words
You didn't suffer in vain.

Your Father spoke to You--
a trip would be made,
You'd give Your life for others
without any blame.

You tugged the heavy cross
up Calvary's Hill that day,
You never asked for help
and never turned away.

They beat You and spat on You,
crowned You with thorns,
You never flinched or uttered
any angry words.

You proved You were His Son,
on that dreadful day,
Christians rejoiced and gave praise--
You rose the third day.

Even while on the cross,He showed concern for His mother in the crowd and for the thief on the cross. Until His last breath , all He had done , He had done for us.Yes ...He did give His life for others . What A Savior!

Happy Easter , Barbara.

What an uplifting poem for the Lord's people, appropriate on Easter and every other day of the year! My heart certainly aches for those who do not know the fullness of His sacrificial death and the life-giving power of His resurrection. (As for those tense mistakes, I only see one and it can easily be corrected.) A most blessed and joyful Resurrection Day to you!

NOTE: I didn't do a good proofreading, as I should, and I have several tense mistakes.
