Charles Reese Poet Sonnet

When I Can See

When I can see all that, you've done for me
I'll see the enemies you've slain so I
Could walk a path that's lets me now be free
When on the cross you died at Calvary
Then three days and nights you were intombed
On the 4th you arose in life anew
This price it let eternal life resume
Because Messiah paid this price That's due
He shed His blood that was so free of sin
He gave me what no other one could give
So I could one day be a part of Him
Now I know what it's like to really live
For now I have all of eternity
When I can see all that you've done for me

John Watt June 1, 2022 at 1:36 PM Charles, this sonnet echoes the glorious thought that "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God". As you mentioned in your comment, it is a joy to see God's truths elaborated upon in poetry; it is yet another way to praise Him who is worthy of all praise. Thank you for this lovely expression of the faith in sonnet form, and for your kind comments at my page. God be with you ~ John Charles Reese June 1, 2022 at 8:49 PM Thank you for your kind comments. I have many poems here that praise Him. He is my favorite subject to write about.
