The Man from Galilee
Died on the cross for me.
If I believe
His gift I receive.
Life with Him for eternity.

Wonderful way to tell the simple gospel.

I am having a bit of difficulty reading it with the limerick rhythm, but it's probably me as limericks are one of my biggest form challenges.  Have to admit, I've not tried a lot of different forms though.

Joyce,  

The gospel plain and simple!  Thanks.  I enjoyed this.  

VAS,

Check out Trilliums post for "man on the cross", there I posted a brief explanation of the limerick rhythm which might be a help to you.

Yes, Stephanos is a helpful man... he knows what he's talking about.       
This one was also quite good!  Nice to see that we started something here... an unofficial challenge.  And a nice change of pace.
