Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

The Message of the Cross

Many have lost their
focus of the cross.
And often...  It's true meaning
 has been lost.

Many are "content" in "their
 own kind of way..."
Not paying attention to what
 God has to say.

It's more than going on Sunday
 and "singing a song."
It's the cross of Christ where
 our attention belongs.

A Godly lifestyle we must 
seek to obtain.
And remember the reason
 why Jesus came!

May we have a godly 
repentance and sorrow.
And look to the cross both
 today and tomorrow.

The cross of Christ needs
 to burn in us a desire.
To lift up the name of Jesus. 
 To lift HIM up higher!

If Christ is lifted up, he'll draw
 all men unto him.
So all can find the
 forgiveness of sin!
