The Foot of the Cross

Here I lay at the foot of the cross. 
Here I lay all my hopes and fears. 
Here where you give your life for me 
Here where you suffered pain and shame. 

Here I lay in your loving arms. 
Here I stop worrying about my fears. 
Here I give my whole self to you. 
No fears, no doubts just pure, deep love. 

Your love Lord Jesus is all I need. 
All I need to keep me true. 
You gave your life so freely for me 
Because you've loved me eternally 

Take my worries far away. 
Fill me with your love today 
I will love you forever more. 
And only you I will adore 

Lord give me strength each day I pray. 
To keep me on the narrow way. 
I need you always by my side. 
To be my saviour and my guide. 

I need your hand to see me through. 
I need your word to see the truth 
Lord put your hand in mine today 
And keep me on the narrow way

Welcome to Poetry Soup! This is an excellent piece written here. I feel as though anything written expressing the love of our Father is indeed worthy to be read. I truly needed to read this at the current moment.!!! Thank you for sharing with us!
