Poem Title:
Poem
Because of Him the grass grows green And the sparrows sing their songs The sunshine brings warmth to all the land As the Easter season comes along. Because of Him, a child's birth Is celebrated, sacred, and blessed An eight year-old child submersed in water Cleansed and perfect, at their best. Because of Him we can try again Through prayer, we can be redeemed. His gentle hands cleaning the apostles' feet On His hands and knees, he scrubbed and cleaned. Because of Him we have an example And a path to follow every day of our lives Where, if we follow the straight and narrow With our parents, children, husbands, and wives, We know that we'll reach His kingdom Where He will greet us with arms outstretched Call us by name, and welcome us home, The kind lines on his face so delicately etched. Because of Him, His sacrifice, and the wounds that pierce His side, Because of Him we can be whole again Because he suffered, bled, and died. Because of Him the sun on that Easter morn Shined so perfectly on an empty tomb Mary cried and wept, while He Sought to ease her troubled gloom. He lives today, He rose again We will testify in every hymn For today we rejoice, and celebrate We have everything because of Him. Sorry it's so delayed, but I'd forgotten to post this in time. This is my Easter poem for the year. Enjoy :) It was inspired by a large-scale campaign by my church titled "Because of Him"
