It Is Finished "It is finished", cried our Lord As He died upon the tree In magnificent obedience To His Father's firm decree. He knew well that He was going Toward that lonely hillside cave As He rode with "alleluias" Our deceitful souls to save. How His brave heart must have broken As He traveled forth to die When the shouts of adulation turned To cries of "Crucify". I'd like to think I would have stayed there With the sad and faithful few Who were with Him through His ordeal As the senseless anger grew. I hope I would have brought Him water As He moaned with dreadful thirst And have held His grieving mother To protect her from the worst. And I hope that unlike Peter I would not stoop to deny That I knew my loving Savior Who for me would choose to die. By: Joyce 3/7/08 |

What a Beautiful Tribute to our Lord and Savior for the work He did for us at this time of the year when the world remembers what He did, and for those that still don't know why, you spelled that out beautifully. In Our Savior's Love, Bob Gotti Eager to see you soon Joyce, In that funny white stuff above. |

quote: Dear Joyce, your soul reflects in this beautiful poem! We can't comprehend indeed what happened ... why there were only a few who remained faithful. So sad. But He has forgiven. United in His love. Margherita |

You really took me there and, yes, I do hope that I too would have been one to honor my Savior as He sacrificed His life for me and for all humanity. I thought that this was a very poignant and thought provoking piece. God bless you and thank you for sharing. -Bob |

Oh, Joyce, I love the way you're so honest, understanding and loving. You HOPE you'd have taken a stand for Christ. I'm sure you will when He returns. This is a definite keeper. Love, Rae |

A marvelous piece; I can't imagine that those who were privileged to witness that single event were able to fully comprehend the significance of what transpired before them; fortunately, the Grace and Salvation of Christ is not finished! --Joe Logic, when applied to people, fails miserably! --Joseph J.
