The Greatest Gift
~*Marge Tindal*~

On a craggy hill in Calvary
a thorny crown upon His head
The King of Kings hung silent
no scepter did He wield

The gift from the Maker
perfection in His sight
The King of Kings hangs silent
no other gift bears His light

Symbolic offering
complete of love
Son of The Father
sent with love

The sign of greatest gifting
One who knows no sin
Giving life for others
Cleansing from within

Know ye now the sacrifice
let not your heart know troubled day
The King of Kings has given His life
your sins now washed away

Rejoice that you have known
the greatest gift of sacrifice
All else pales in comparison
Give thanks and give it twice

Once for The Father
Once for the King of Kings
Give thanks today for Eternal Life
that this gifting brings

Now He is risen
The prophecy fulfilled with grace
Now He is living
Light of the world upon His face

~Glory be His Name~

No doubt, you are a religious writer.  I like your writng, but it seems that you are glorifying the act of writng more than the content of it.  Overall, it is very good, though.  I hope to read more of it.
