[hometext] => I just can't imagine doing this...
[bodytext] => How could You have done all that for me? Who am I that You'd die on that tree? First of all You came down from Heaven above As a baby in a stable out of love Why would You give those Heavenly surroundings up? Knowing well that we'd all continue to foul up Yet You grew up among people just like me All the while knowing You came to set us free You saw people sick and starving, in pain and dying Others You saw cheated, murdered, abused and lying YET You came to teach us all a better way How to love and care and from You not to stray Do I listen and obey and trust in what You've taught-- Or am I trapped in this world with feelings of distraught? Just HOW could You have done ALL that for me? Who am I that You'd die upon that tree? Then You spent a lot of time teaching those twelve men Showing them a loving life style for them to live in You also befriended and taught those that gathered near Healed the sick, blind and deaf, and love little children dear Those caught in sin, You forgave and told "Sin no more" What more can anyone with such guilt even hope for? Yet I know Your same teaching still applies to me today How to care and love others, even if sins are their way. I'm to forgive and forget and show them the love of You So they can know what You have done and believe in you, too! BUT HOW could You have done all that for me Who am I that You'd die upon that tree? You even took the hatred, mocking and whipping beyond reason Yet we just casually think about that during Easter season How can we be sooo flippant about the pure life, harsh suffering and death You gave The blood You shed, the sin You took away, then defeated the grave for us to save You even went further on and promised us much, much more than all that You went back to Heaven to prepare a place for us and that's a fact But You never left us alone to struggle and stumble on our way You sent Your Spirit to be our Comforter and Guide for ev'ry day! What is sooo much more amazing to me in all that You have done Is --if I were the only one here, You'd still done all this for one. WOW, HOW could YOU have done ALL this for me? Who am i that You'd die upon that tree?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
