How little did I realize
as you slumbered in my womb
That you'd be the risen Savior
Who conquered that borrowed tomb

I remembered how the angel said,
I'd be blessed by God above
and when I gazed into your face
all I felt was perfect love

Oh I knew you were special
God's perfect chosen one
But when I held you in my arms
you were my firstborn son

So many things left unsaid
So many things to ponder
I watched you grow into a man
and my heart was filled with wonder

I couldn't keep you to myself
for you were God's own son
You came to offer eternal life
to each and everyone

Your message was so new and strange,
it was hard to comprehend.
To see you make the blind to see
or watch the cripple mend,
caused the leaders of our faith
to feel threatened, filled with hate.
They schemed, "How can we kill this man
before it gets too  late."

And oh how my heart did break
as they nailed you to that cross!
I could only weep and say
"I'll never survive this loss."

But early on that Easter morn,
all that was left inside that tomb
was the burial shroud you'd worn
and two angels in that room.

“Don't be sad, there's no need to cry
for you knew the Christ would suffer and die.”
“But God has raised Him, death He's slain.”
“He sits at the Father's right hand
where in glory He'll now reign.”

Oh precious Son, this child of mine,
how blessed among women was I,
to bear God's sacrificial Lamb
Lord Jesus, our Savior Divine

Please excuse me for replying again. Just trying to figure out why my last reply did not move this poem back to the front.

This is a beautiful poem...I can see why its special.
Welcome to Passions.
I look forward to more of your work...
by the way...this forum no longer has "self bump"...only replies from other poets takes it back up..not when we reply to our own work.
Ron felt in such a busy forum that would be more fair.
If you have any questions the moderators here are great
