Joan Donnelly Ellis Poet Verse

Jesus

Jesus

He gave His life for a worthless society
 And for those who would follow Him , He offered eternity
 God almighty willingly left His Heavenly throne
 And walked among earthy sinners
 Offering them residency in His Divine Home
 Angels must have cried tears of blood
 To witness what we did to God the Father and God the Son
 The Creator of creation , the most High
 And what shame they must have felt
 When He was crucified 
 They must have wondered why
 Their Lord above all Lords was willing to die
 For a fithy race wallowing in iniquity
 But thank God He did so for the likes of you and me
 We must never assume we can repay Him
 For what he has done to save our souls
 No wealth is able to cover the sacrifice Jesus gave
 So we might fellowship and be guided by the Holy Ghost
