An Easter Poem: He Lives Forevermore

This Easter poem is the result of my reflection on His incredible sacrifice. I pray these simple words encourage you to consider all Christ gave to benefit us.

 

The king upon the colt lamented

as the shout, “Hosanna!” rang.

“Oh, how I longed to gather you

yet you denied my name.”

Palm branches waved amid the throng

while tears coursed down His cheeks,

Misguided, lost, and desperate–

seeing they did not seek.

Praise lasted for a moment,

but it quickly passed

for soon He wore

a crown of thorns

and lots were crudely cast.

“Crucify!” and, “Save yourself!”,

the Lamb endured each jeer,

then God Almighty turned His back.

Oh, Father, please come near!

One final breath and Jesus died.

The sky portended gloom.

The few remaining by His side

placed Him in the tomb.

Without hope His followers mourned,

fear knocking at the door.

Till three days later He rose again

and lives forevermore!

Without hope His followers mourned, fear knocking at the door. Till three days later He rose again and lives forevermore! #eastersunday #resurrection Click To Tweet
