The Last Day

Before He was arrested in Gethsemene He Prayed.
His soul was crushed with sorrow, this was Reserrection Day
Father if You're willing,please take this cup from Me.
You know I want your will not mine,and I know this has to be.

He was betrayed by Judas to fullfil the prophecy,
And when He left the garden to meet His destiny,
They took Him before Pilate,who said,"I won't condemn."
But others there grew angry, for they were treacherous men.


They beat HIm without mercy and spat upon His face.
A crown of thorns they gave Him to add to His digrace.
They laid the stripes upon His back and split that flesh devine.
What a price He had to pay to save your sul and mine.


The price He paid on calvary,the agony of pain
Hanging naked on that cross the Lamb of God was slain.
He uttered,"It is finished."With those last words He died.
What agonies He suffered when He was crucified.

Thank you for your comment. I welcome your editing suggetions. I don't write my poetry from training, but from the heart. This poen was written way back in 1988,about two years after I started writing Christian poetry . I am always open to any suggestions that will improve what I write. Judy
