Greatest Love Letter

Easter 2014 poem

The One who wore the crown of thorns

Upon his blood stained brow.

Wore those thorns so that we

Could wear a crown of glory now.

The One who had nail pierced hands

And had agony in His soul

Bore those wounds so that we

In Spirit, could be made whole

The One who bore the darkest sky

Dark as the blackest night

Took our sins upon Himself

So we could live in light

The One who hung all alone

On that vile, accursed cross

Hung in love and tenderness

So we wouldn't suffer loss

The One who bowed His weary head

And gave up His soul that day

Lifts up the heads of everyone

Who will follow in His way

The One who lay dead in the tomb

Rose up in victory

So that those who come and follow Him

Live for eternity!
