Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Drawing Power At the Cross

Growing up throughout childhood
being always keen to read
there was a particular favourite
it had awesome effect indeed

The life of Jesus picture book
this effected me more than I knew
in those early years read of the cross
Jesus suffered at Calvary was true

Every time I read this at the cross
it made me to stop and slowly think
of what does this mean for me
Jesus forsaken His life to sink

Then three days later to rise
from the dead by God's power
conquered death the son of God
years later to be my believing hour

In my late 20s in night of sadness
my wife Jean had died at early age
these memories of years long ago
came afresh again to turn my page

The light came that Jesus died
for all my sin the price Christ paid
this is the power of the cross
Jesus comes in and forever stayed

(For those who doon't know my story, my first wife Jean died in 1982 but now married to Christine so happily for 25 years.)
