His Blood to Drink
07 July 2006

When words where but a way to speak
and love was this charity of Christ to pay
When sacrifice was an Easter, that time to think
each day and every memory,
upon a cross, His blood to drink

When summer was but a season
and your eyes were the glass of a soul
Then comes tomorrow, another night to dream
seeking happiness, knowing kindness was there

Just to know, just to understand
this God, this Almighty to stand
Freedom and proselyte
time in memoriam to share

When words were more than a picture
the right words of righteousness
This time of Easter, a season to celebrate
for she was heaven, he was earth
upon a cross, in His blood to drink


“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye
eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life
in you. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.”
John 6: 53, 55 KJV

Christopher,

A very nice display of your poetry.

Thank you for sharing it.


The thought of blood is such a difficult thing for me to think about... Smiles. I would never make it as a doctor, but, then again, how very very important and significant is Christ's shed blood for our Forgiveness and for our Salvation and, yes, He does ask us to remember.

Enjoyed reading and God bless.

-Bob
