A Cross to Bear

How could it be That a cross to bear hath me I toil with my choices so deep No solution is their to keep Cross to bear is mine Should that be surely fine It weighs down on my shoulders Alas it soon may fold us Yet when I think of when I’m crying out “no more” I think of how you bore That cross for us and swore I love you it’s my score A Cross to bear 30th November 2021 Sponsor Edward Ibah

So beautifully replete with pathos and ethos, Jesus, who Paid It All ("all to Him I owe") in my fave Hymn. Yes, Angie, I have been reading your well-crafted Poetic Offerings, and wanted this to be my first Christian response. We pray for each other as the One Body of Christ. We just overcome one day at a time, as He did. Friday was bad and GOOD, but we had to also endure S I L E N C E all Saturday, Then Resurrection. We must grab hold of the fact: Jesus worshippers have resurrection life. amen
