The ultimate sacrifice I can think of Is what they did to our Savior, Jesus How they split his skin with whips As He stood and endured the pain All for His children, children like you To save us all from ourselves. Who carried the burden of the cross Our crosses, our burdens, our sins All because the love He holds for each He endured it when they spit into His face And pushed Him to the ground, and blasphemed His name Believing not that He was sent from God. He endured each heart-rending nail That pierced into his wrists And tore into the feet of peace Thorns that were sunk deep into the head Of one who endured because of love. One who was placed upon a cross And hung until his very bones Were out of their joints And the lungs caved in And He endured suffocation. But even though he hung there, He still had the strength to teach And say, God forgive them For they know not what they do. But He is an overcomer, for He has RISEN!

Oh, WhiteDove~ How vividly true. How blessed is the rememberance of what He gave for us. God the Father we thank you. Jesus, King of Kings we thank you. He is risen ! Glory be His name. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Oh, incredible work, Whtdove. God Bless you. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |
