ON A HILL IN CALVARY
by Paul Curtis On a hill in Calvary In a savage unenlightened time Nailed upon a rugged cross By brutal hand They thought to kill a man To snuff out his light That light of purest love Unquenchable, indestructible On that hill in Calvary He died for us The shadow of that cross Cast upon the bloody land Was an illuminating shadow That spread light and love Shining across millennia Unquenchable, indestructible On that hill in Calvary He died for us In that savage unenlightened time Murdered by brutal hand Humiliated, dehumanized But through his love for us And his sacrifice for us He redeemed us I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
