A Walk To the Cross

When Jesus walked to Calvary, He fell many times along the way, His heavy load caused Him to stumble, Are we too proud to be so humble? Our life is our walk to Calvary, We also will fall along the way, Our load is worry, fear and hate, Do we deserve to reach the Golden Gate? All His life Jesus did nought but good, We would do the same if only we could, If only we could embrace His way, Our faith would grow stronger each passing day. For forty days in the wilderness, Satan watched to see Him transgress, He never did, to His Father he was true, Oh; this could happen to me and to you. God loves us so much, that He gave up His son, Who died for us in a terrible way, Our sins, on His back, he bore that day, God couldn't watch, He turned away. Jesus died and was laid in a tomb of stone, For three days, but not alone,did He lay Angels watched o'er Him day and night On the third day the stone was rolled away. Jesus was risen on that Easter morn' His grave clothes were left for all to see, Death was defeated and Satan cried, I have been beaten, my prize denied. What Jesus did all those centuries past, Was to set us free from his clutches at last. Now we can live our lives the Jesus way, The Cross stands forever, pointing the way. Now, Satan can test us, try all he might, But Jesus protects us, both day and night, Satan will always be there on our shoulder, But Jesus' love just makes us bolder. I don't know about you, but as for me, I'll take my walk to Calvary, I'll bear the scars of Satan's attack, But I'll be ready when Jesus comes back. © Dave Timperley 2012
