Willingly for Me—Easter

Poetry challenge: Easter poem.

 

 

 

Christ willingly took upon himself your sins and mine that day.

In order that you and I would never pay what we deserved to pay.

In agony and pain He cried out ,”Father, forgive them, they know not what they do! ”

Even in death as His skin was scourged, His thoughts were of me and you.

Cross Your Fingers

I think back on childhood rhymes
Cross my heart and hope to die
Do we really do that these days
Or just get the needle in the eye.
