Holy Friday Long, long ago afar away Jesus died on Holy Friday The close of earthly life for Him To pardon us from human sin. Greatest gift of the crucifix Is key to heaven in the mist. Sent from God, thy will to be done His most precious and only Son To reconcile earth's brokenness Peace to all was our dear Lord's quest. Greatest gift of the crucifix Is key to heaven in the mist. Though God's words were spread with honour They still crucified our brother Placed in a tomb for Christ to lay But He rose again on third day. Greatest gift of the crucifix Is key to heaven in the mist. Jesus, joy to the hearts of us We follow in the paths you took To do as you would wish us do Where you would tread, we will tread too. Greatest gift of the crucifix Is key to heaven in the mist. A crown of thorns placed on your head Thou King Jesus of Nazareth. We honour you Lord come what may Celebrating Holy Friday. Greatest gift of the crucifix Is key to heaven in the mist. 16th February 2021 EASTER english AND ARABIC !!!

Sorrow and death, turned upside down into Resurrection - the Key. What a beautiful thought and summation of your song of faith, Belle. Love your repetition at the end of each stanza as a verse. Sending you congratulations and blessings!

The death of Christ was a triumph of God over Satan. A wonderful lyric. I of course could not read the Arabic version and wonder how much they appreciated it seeing they don't believe Jesus was God. But the English version was excellent. ~~

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that fact, perhaps that puts me out of the running, have to wait and see. Thank you Victor ~~ Belle

WoW! Belle, What an excellent entry for the contest. It reads like something that was well thought out and not rushed. Good lyrics about what Jesus did, he gave his life so mankind can live. And you did it in Arabic too! This is a top contender. You just penned your way to victory( In my opinion)! Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Thank you Alexis, I did spend quite some time on this and wondered should I post it, I’m glad I did as an Easter poem to keep. You have a lovely day too ~ Belle :-)
