A Poem

I was telling Mommy the other day that I wish I could write more blog posts but I can't always think of something to write and she suggested I share one of my songs or poems with you so today I will share a poem.
I don't have a title for it though so for now it will be:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Untitled"

Jesus, my King, on You my gazed is rarely focused
So concerned with self I hardly take time to notice
The cross where You hung, the tomb where You were laid
My life it was saved, redeemed, ransomed all because of the price You paid
Without You I would be dead
Were it not for the blood, that on the cross, You shed
How can I forget that or not give it any thought?
For it was on that cross, that, my soul, You bought
Show me, teach me to stay fixed on You everyday
To net let anything or self get in the way
Too often my days are all about me
With rarely a thought or praise for You who are Holy
Righteous, Sinless, Almighty You are
Yet still for me, You went so far
I was dead in my sin, You gave me life through Your death
It should have been me, yet You paid my debt
You love me so much, though why, I do not know
Saviour, may my life, Your Love always show
To the cross, I nailed Your hands and Your feet
I beat You so much Your blood covered You like a sheet
I placed a crown of thorns upon Your head
I did not love You for, "Crucify Him!", is what I said
Upon that cross, aloud You cried
And there I watched You as You died

Three days later, You rose again
You saved me after all I did
You showed me mercy, love, and kindness
Though I am unworthy, You made me righteous
I need no longer fear death or the wrath of God
For I have been saved by Your Holy shed blood

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


God be glorified.
Grace be with you all.
Alive because of His Blood,
Bekah
