An Image is Seen

An image is seen

by many its true

a cross is the image...what’s that mean to you?

do you see the cross as something cliche?

is it something that you just encounter each day?

this image is placed in so many places..

its worshiped, its warn, its carried by many..

its on stain glass windows seen by many faces,

yes there all around and i bet you've seen plenty..

yet so many hold this image so high...

as if it were the image that came here to die...

the truth is the cross is a symbol for all

to step back and see that God took the fall...

the fall was to come and to die on a tree

to cover our sins so that we could be free..

all it takes is to say that without Him were nothing.

and to put our trust in Christ so that He can make us something

begging you please, consider what’s being said

this isn’t just any old poem being read

this is the news the world must hear,

let me say it again so the message is clear…

Sin is a death trap that gladly ensnares,

God allowed it to be to prove that He cares

He was born in a shack and He was treated like trash,

And on the day of His death He was beat like a punk

And after His beating He was hung on a cross,

Willingly He hung there bloody with shame,

He endured all the suffering,

He endured all the pain,

All the punishment He took should have been our own,

Since it was sin that He died for….

The sin we’ve all sown.

But like a loving Father He took our place,

And with holes in his hands He holds out mercy and grace.

These gifts can be taken by any who choose….

I'm begging you please….please don’t refuse…

If you’re listening to this poem and you think this is fake

I warn you take caution with each step you take,

Because no man’s guaranteed tomorrow,

And if your not washed in Christ, your future is sorrow…

I write these words with love in my heart

Because one day I know from this body you’ll part,

And when that day comes and you stand before the King,

One question He’ll ask, in your ear will it wring….

“What did you do with My most humble gift?”

If your answers rejection, your sole will He sift.

God gave us a most precious gift on that cross,

And if you choose to reject it….

Your whole life is a loss…...

so.... don't be a loss... give your life to the one from the cross...
