THE WISDOM OF THE CROSS;

               Lets ponder a while & wonder at the cross,

               At God's holy wisdom,

               and how He planned to saved the lost!

              What else do we see? Look carefully all,

             It shows us to be obedient,

             and stay faithful to your call.

             You'll learn about sacrifice,

             and unconditional love,

            In Jesus our perfect example,

            the Lamb that was sent from above.

            What else do we learn,

            from the brokeness of the Cross?

            It teaches us to be humble,

            in face of adversity & loss !

            Trust & Faith do we also see,

            displayed at the Cross so implicitly,

           "Father forgive them" He said to them all,

            in the face of death & the bitter gall,

            Patience & love flowed mingling down,

            as they pierced his side

            And from that tree He hung !

            Yet He did not even once rebuke,

            the one's he called friends,

            who now him forsook

            So now we find ourselves at the foot of this Cross,

            Where Jesus died, to save us all!!

            Look and see we have it all!!!

            Love, Trust, Faith, Humility, Sacrifice, & Power !

           Yes the Cross gives us power,

           The power to Bear,

           The power to  Live,

           And the Power to share !!
