A Poem of Praise

Praise Jesus Christ! Who died on the Cross; Without Thy great Sacrifice We would all be lost. From birth until death You lived on this earth; Enduring our suffering To prove Love's worth Though the sinners were many, And the darkness was great; You died to forgive us, To open Heaven's Gates. Not three days passed And You continued Your Plan. Freed the souls of Purgatory Down to every last man. Then You descended to Hell To address the evil within. Cast Satan into the abyss Along with his shackles of sin. You rose out of the tomb- A sight to behold! Your Visage was shining Even brighter than gold. After 40 days You Ascended up high. You departed from Earth, As You rose into the sky. From thence it was said You would come again. To Judge everyone At the very End. Humanity is selfish; Ingratitude everywhere. I bet sometimes it seems Like nobody cares. I know You probably don't hear this much, But I'd like to say thanks For all that you did for us, So we might join the heavenly ranks.
