Calvary Poems - Poems about Calvary

He came for humanity's sake, Preaching love, not disunity's ache. A pillar strong, a tower high, He healed the oppressed, the devil's sigh. Declared his fate, arrest, and death, Yet on the third day, he'd find new breath. Conquering death, the world's despair, He arose, putting shame to crafty snare. No need for evidence to quell my doubt, My conviction stands, unwavering without. Fully persuaded,...

Like travellers, We cross this arid land Aiming at the city of rest. As we traverse the landscapes We may, of a truth, sully our feet With besetting dust of sin But we must from time to time Remember Calvary, the place of cleansing Where mercy flows immeasurably We go through marketplaces Let’s be pleased with divine supplies Lest we...

I When the man whose blood ran as fecund streams Gave up His last breath, darkness fell like judgment It would hang from midday, one Friday, for hours At three that afternoon, at a nearby Temple The thick curtains, at least a meter deep, ripped From top to bottom, revealing the inner sanctum Was it an invitation? Come to Me without an...

There were roses on Calvary that day, you know. Bunches and bunches of roses adorning the skull. Red roses! For crimson blood seeped profusely that day. It had to be so for our own sake. Divine blood that dripped from a thousand and one hematic wounds as He hang on a brittle tree He Himself had created. There...
