The Cross

.                 The cross of Christ
                  wasn't mere slabs
                  of wood nailed to
                   form an addition
but basket for carrying all stained robes
of the world into the
laundry of Mt Calvary
where he washed all clean by his sacred
blood........................his blameless blood
 	              light it really was
                     but made heavy
                     by the load of sin
                     taken upon it so
                      you and I can be
                      forever free
                      same cross             
                      Christians bear
       	     and in his pain
                                       share
                     ours also full
                      with pleasures of doom
that must be disposed of
into Christ's basket that never will be full
