The Apostles

(3/9/12)

Different directions the apostles had traveled
Most of life’s questions - CHRIST had unraveled.
They had questions and doubts as many do
But what they saw in CHRIST
They knew his words were true.

So many miracles that they had seen
But their faith was always tested in between.
They fell asleep when CHRIST went to the 
Mountaintop to pray- they couldn’t keep
Their eyes open- what could they say.

When CHRIST fell asleep in the boat
And the winds and rain began
Fear entered their hearts and they
Woke CHRIST for his helping hand.

The lord questioned their faith
As he raised his hands to the sky
As the winds and rains did subside.

The biggest tests were yet to come
After the last supper was done.
Betrayal, denial , and crucifixion
Was in motion - to find out each
One's devotion.

He predicted that Judas would betray him
And peter would deny him three times
And for him the end of the line.
Now we all know that this was GODS plan
That the apostles will preach throughout the lands
They would create Christianity, and it would live
Through eternity.

I like your poem. Good subject. I have a couple of punctuation points in this: Ones devotion. [Show possessive - One's devotion] He predicted that Judas would betray him And peter would deny him three times And for him the end of the line. Now we all know that this was gods plan [Capitalize God's]
