Our Risen Crucified Living Lord
by Cori Mann Born into the world like you and like me He came to this earth to set us all free Full of sin we needed the Savior and His love Unblemished and pure like a snow-white dove God's own Son, the world He came to save Jesus the sacrificial Lamb, God so lovingly gave We did not deserve this Savior, this Holy One There was to be a living sacrifice, God's own Son So much suffering took place that heartrending day He was tortured and beaten in a most horrible way Lashes left the skin shredded,bloody and raw While unbeliever's watched liking what they saw A crown of thorns roughly place on His head They wanted this man Jesus to be soon dead Carrying the heavy cross that would hold Him very soon He walked to the place where it happened at high-noon Nails pounded fiercely piercing into His feet and healing hands There were people watching and mocking from many far lands The cross was now standing between two others there A criminal on each side of our suffering Lord, did anyone care? Family,friends and followers watched Him suffer, they did care Their suffering sweet innocent Jesus, it just did not seem fair They hurt for Him while others cheered as Jesus suffered and died Mary his mother looked on and as she stared at her son she cried The people thought they had taken the life of Jesus and won What they did not know was that God's will was to be done He rose again and is alive today the Holy One did not die Through Him we have new life and worship Him on high It is by His stripes he sacrificially took for us that we are healed The cross where He was crucified is where our future is sealed In Him we are eternally free, Jesus now sits on the throne at the right hand Of our Father in Heaven where all God's children will eternally stand "When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping." Mark 16:9,10 (NIV) Corinne's walk through the valley of fear and anxiety has inspired Corinne to write. It is her desire to bring hope and encouragement through her writings to other women. Corinne Mann. All Rights Reserved Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
