Notes About The Poem

**Sorry club, I have not been able to be on line much lately, I have been having computer 
problems!  I will try to get back more on line.  I wrote this last Sunday, a poem that has
been so heavy on my heart as I understand more and more - after 40 years, of realizing
what my Savior did for mankind and for me.  Praise His Name!**

The Suffering He Bore

The Suffering HE Bore

We will never fully understand the depth of the suffering
that our Savior bore on the tree of Calvary, 
nor the pain of separation from His Father that He wept through
during His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.

This Savior and Son of the Most High God we can surely see
what tremendous love for man he has shown, 
Yet we can only scratch the mere surface no matter how much in Him
that we have grown

How can mortal man fully understand the way our God 
even comprehends and thinks, 
His infinite wisdom and the understanding He exemplifies as He
grasps the problems of the whole universe while we have only the time to blink.

When the Lord Jesus left Heaven for us and came 
down to the lowly level of man, 
it is truly the picture of a King leaving His palace and
taking up residence in a large garbage can.

And what about His honor and authority having His 
angels snap to attention at His command, 
then in contrast His creation was laughing and scorning and jeering at Him
only to strike Him with the back of their hands!

He, trying His best
wanted the good for man to see,
that He is Creator God Who has come down
to man’s level and with him He had chosen to plead!

Oh, at times, I know with me
I caused Him to be wroth, 
while dealing with ignorance on my part
yet patiently He endured and finally I understood what He had to me, taught!

The Darling of Heaven as they say
came from Heaven to reside in the lowly town of Galilee, 
oh, won’t you hear His call to save you as I heard
and gladly chose and let Him save me.
