His Strength Empowers

With blood pouring in his eyes And saltless tears streaming down his face The Savior of the world came and took His place Upon a cross of suffering Upon a cross of shame His strength empowers me til this very day! He was a King prior He sat on a mighty throne He was robed in fullest majesty He carried His cross alone He walked the road to Calvary And not for one moment did he turn around and go back Back to the easy life of being a King Not to the carefree life with His angelic beings No! He stayed there in the midst of the most horrible suffering My Savior! My King! His strength and love for all of mankind is EMPOWERING! Written by Gwendolen Rix 7-23-14 Contest “Strength Empowers”
