We have all had our share
Of secrets and shame,
false guilt and blame.
Of betrayal and perfidy,
distress and tragedy.
Of sufferings and grievant,
anguish and bereavement.
We have all had our portion
Of irreplaceable losses
wrought from unpredictable causes.
Of brutal desolations, leaving
afflictions, and deprivations.
We have all had our dole
Of failures and disappointments
and bitter false judgments.
Of overwhelming human regret
for the promises, unmet.
We have all had our fill
Of having been left, undesired
and being tried by the fire -
Of it blazing too near
causing paralyzing fear.
We have all had our day
Of being horribly used
and deeply misconstrue d.
Of knowing hate and ill-will
and our hearts never stilled.
We have all had our times
Of being woefully wronged
and the pain prolonged.
Of being lied to, deceived
and our own truth, un-believed.
We have all had our seasons
Of cruelty and abuse
being chastised and accused,
Inflicted with pain
and angst that remains.
Yea, the burden of our toil
the hardship and the roil
Of our daily ingest
of what others confess;
Tho’ so little rings true
for me and for you.
And yet..
For all of this
From all peoples
For all the ages
In one condemning moment of time
All evil and injustice
Came slamming down to rest
Upon our Saviour’s breast...
With ev’ry pound of the nail
He endured each human’s hell
Whether perpetrated, or received
That we might believe
The Lamb of GOD, The Lion of Judah
He bore it ALL!
Now is the time to be thankful
For Father GOD rescuing us
From ourselves..
By giving us
His Only Son
as a propitiation
for our sins.
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8
IN CHRIST ALONE
IS THE RECORD OF OUR PAST
OBLITERATED
AND OUR SIN-DEBT MARKED
“PAID IN FULL!”
Wishing my AD Family a Glorious Resurrection Day Celebration!
You are ever in my prayers!
