Was It Called Love

28 February 2006


What was faith
this honour to give
Words to understand
things that were to live

The kind of faith given in hope
this charity of Jesus Christ to hold
Such was a feeling in being a believer
not to be void of happiness or true gold

So was it true - His death was part of a plan
this point of time to be crucified and true
In standing up for conviction as to lies
others might just say would never do

Nails to hang by in evidence scarred
hands pierced to the point of blood
Saved from dishonour - safe to be real
this faith - was it called love



“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3: 16 KJV

Seems we all try to put our understanding around the kind of love it took for Jesus to suffer for our sin and sake. Something for us to think about when we're in pain, begging for relief, right?  Thank you for sharing this insightful piece.

So much comes down to interpretation

where I write my pieces in a process of line upon line , precept upon precept

even I have to go back and interpret my own works, after I have composed the last line of each

A lot of hard truth in your poem.  I really liked it.  My favourite lines were:
Nails to hang by in evidence scarred
and
this faith - was it called love

Yes, the nails were evidence of what happened and it was His faith, and His faith is love.

Great write.
