"CHRIST'S BROKEN HEART!"
© 2005 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book # 9}
Christ died of a 'Broken' Heart
on that Cross at Calvary,
Willingly He went there
for He LOVED both you & me.
Proved by the spear that pierced Him *
blood & 'water' spilling out,
Feeling immense 'rejection'
as the World stood by to shout:
"Crucify!", they shouted
knowing not ~ it was God's PLAN, *
Spoken of ~ years ago
before He created man.
Yes, knowing we'd NEED a Savior
because of our stubborn 'willful' hearts,
The Father sent His Only Son *
so we could choose ~ from Him NOT to depart!
So, the next time you're 'feeling' emotions
run to Jesus for direction,
Let Him 'spur you on' to VICTORY
& ask Him for protection.
Protection from 'discontentment'
& 'lethargy' & 'hate',
From all those things that could keep you
from entering ~ Life's Eternal Gate.
As for making NO decision
to Believe & 'follow' Christ ~
Really means you've chosen the devil
content to live in strife.
"No Heaven to gain
no Hell to shun,
We're just here on Earth
havin' fun!"
With such a lie as that to believe
God's Promise of Forgiveness ~ we'll not receive!
Oh, my dear friends
can't you hear it NOW?
God's 'Still small Voice'
telling you 'how'!
'How' to wash away your sins
with His Precious Bloodstained Hands,
Come now ~TODAY~ & don't delay
& join ~with me~ in God's Heavenly Band.
Just ask Him NOW to 'Forgive' you *
& come into your heart today,
Don't you know He's just 'waiting'
to hear these words you Pray?
We make it sound so 'easy'
& it is, of course, you know ~
Because JESUS Paid it ALL, my friend
when to that Cross He PLANNED to go!
