The Lost

Deep in the earth, the cries are heard, the echoes of pain, their sorrows blurred. High in the heavens, the word is there, he took upon flesh, and came with care. About the kingdom, to spread the news, dying for them, he paid all dues. Bondage was free, the earth was saved, to be forgiven, trespasses waived.

You have such a gentle way of sharing your faith; it is a witness that draws people in instead of chasing away. And your grasp of what you tell is so full of the knowlege of truth. I truly enjoy your poems John and also your comments to me are so precious. Thank you -- hugs, Lizzie

You know, it's so sad that people don't realize how much Jesus Christ loves us. For God to send his son for us so that we wouldn't suffer is a testament into itself. This is another fine piece you have here. R.M.
