Notes About The Poem

Holy Friday

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.

Victor Buhagiar February 15, 2021 at 10:55 PM 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. ~~ Beryl Edmonds February 16, 2021 at 2:13 AM 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

Alexis Y. February 15, 2021 at 4:24 PM 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 Beryl Edmonds February 15, 2021 at 4:33 PM 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 :-)
