THE ROCK!

Contributed by Robert_Edgar_Burns on Monday, 26th August 2002 @ 08:24:02 PM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems

On Calvary’s tree hung He there for me,
As the timber turned red with His Blood,
A washing began for the sins of all men,
And our filth flowed away by that flood.

He came from a throne, to a manger was born,
To the stink that came from that dark cave.
But all did seem lost as He carried His cross,
Then was laid in a tomb for a grave.

As the curtain was torn, a new temple was born.
And it’s built on the site of our hearts.
Since He rose from His tomb, He has built me a room,
Where I’ll live when my new life I start.

To serve man as a slave then be placed in a grave,
May seem awful harsh for a King.
But the only plan that could save a lost man,
Was to spill blood so we could be saved!

To His throne He now cleaves, and will never more leave,
As He judges mankind with His rod.
Now the angels sing praise to the Rock of all age,
And they bow at His feet as our God!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
