Sonnet Xx If Purpose Be Grave

SONNET XX
If Purpose Be Grave

In Sorrowful but Grateful Reflection
My Lord, I’m tempted to Ask

Did You really have to Die
Did You have to bare the Cross
Did You have to take the Strokes
All that for Me, Must You?

To my thoughts You answered
That Life is about Fulfilling Purpose

But when Purpose be Grave and Fierce
Lord, do You have to Pursue?

Through this I’ve learnt and Now I’m Saved
In all, My Lord am grateful, You’re Risen
Like You, My Life I’ll Live for My Neighbour
And if Purpose be Grave, Lord I’ll still Pursue
