Notes About The Poem

There can be great difficulty in believing without seeing. If you are a Christian it is a necessity.

He Died Upon the Cross

He Died Upon the Cross
By Franklin Price
4/16/2017

He died upon the cross that day
Upon Golgotha's hill
To atone for all our selfish sins
Believe it happened if you will

Believe He rose again from death
Easter morn so long ago
Divinely rolled the stone away
Rose again for us to know

Met with His disciples
His followers and such
Even doubting Thomas
Who had to come and touch

Told them to go and spread the word
Of what happened on that day
The Savior died and rose again
To take our sins away

Was taken up to heaven
To meet His Father there
If we believe then we can join Them
The great promised land to share

Thank you for an uplifting poem, the good news of the Gospel. You may like to read my poem 'Salvation and its Basis' written when a woman said I wasn't saved because I didn't believe what she taught. My salvation is through Christ and the cross.Blessings, Vivien
