Robert James Liguori Poet Free verse

The Name of Jesus

The shadow of the cross
fell upon Roman soldiers
grasping rocks, spears and anger.

Yet they could not take one thing
the Son of God possessed,
his glorious name.

Jesus wept and Jesus bleed
while the guard did their job
before one that would be praised

Now he walks with each and every one of us
Jesus, the savior King,  Jesus.

Kim Rodrigues November 14, 2021 at 5:13 PM The shadow of the cross fell…what humans worship(!) Let us worship the “celebrated” King with all our hearts. Impactful accompaniment in song! God bless you, Robert! Losing two close family members this year, the song has even more meaning. My tears only weep for those who have not yet grasped salvation..Lord we pray!
