Premium MemberIs There Light

Is There Light?

Is there light in the darkness?
Is there hope in the grief?
Is there health in the sickness?
Is there peace in the strife?
Oh! The questions keep coming
With their doubts and their fears.

Can there be a way different
A way that’s way out
An escape from normality
That can banish all doubt?

About Jesus our Lord.

At The Foot Of The Cross

Can you see where true hope is found?
Will you build your life on solid ground?
Are your hopes based on something sound?
Will you bend your knee at Calvary’s mound?

Do you know how to conquer pain?
Must you stumble through life’s empty strain?
Are your losses to be counted as gain?
Will you bow your head at Calvary’s precious stain?

At

Triumph Over Death

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,

Premium MemberCan There Be

So can there be a dreamlike place
Where sympathy controls?
Where friendly kindness fills the space
No traps or tricks or holes.

A place where treachery slides away
And smoothness paves the path today
For those who have no sense of ease,
Whose struggles never cease?

Yes, yes, indeed, there is a place
Where hopes and future have a face.
Not made of things, nor

Premium MemberIt Wasn't Clean

It wasn’t clean at Calvary,
no tidy hill-top site,
neat-kept and swept
where tourist cameras
crowd
wide-angled
in the holy sweat
of multi-pounded package tours.

It was a common place
of cruelty,
and blood,
a skull,
Golgotha death
and mocking hate
and sorrow deep-confused.

In retrospect,
a place of wonder
infinite,
for here
the eternal God,
forgiving,
gave his life
for me.

“The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20

Brutal Calvary

That time when Jesus walked among men
has long passed, only faint images remain;
and the curious crowds followed Him everywhere:
they heard a wisdom from the mouth of dare!

Herod was a savage: the king of Jerusalem;
too jealous he was of the humble Messiah
who taught miserable men the beautiful truth:
the holiest man that ever lived was Abraham!

Christ paved

On Calvary

On Calvary
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Sans devoid and bare
Now and then I stare
Out there feeling bereft
My punctured lung bleeds
Feet wont dare to step
I am nailed so hard
The clouds go dapple drab
The sky emboss so somber
Robber and I either side
I came to fetch many faults..

Sans devoid I bare the load
Whom am I ?
Jesus from God
The saviour Messiah 
Who grants

Whom am I to judge you;
I need to judge first myself only;
I have no rights to judge;
I also have fallen state;
How am I a witness;
When I'm condemning you;
Where is the love;
Where is the I reprove (use)

Where am I when you need prayer;
Where am I when you need a hand;
How can I be a friend;
When I

As We Traverse the Landscapes

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

Calvary Made the Resurrection Inevitable

Prophecies spoken, Jesus is the Art of Perfection
History cannot forget the resurrection
The Cross of Resurrection needs close inspection
The Bible reveals that this matter is certainly not inconsequential
Based on our faith, Calvary made the resurrection inevitable
You cannot kill something when the Spoken Word is Alive Forever!

The death of Jesus is unique because of His Resurrection
No other

The Pain, the Pain - Not Mine

I
The pain, the pain - not mine
God had allowed them, I didn't whine
Love and lottery share a common thread -

Money makes them attractive, addictive

We know it yet prefer silence, one so eerie
It is shocking that sin can make us merry

II
When what we felt, rises to the surface
The pain is deep. Beyond egg on a face
Maybe

Premium MemberThe Four V's of Calvary - John 19: 12-22, 28-30

VOLUNTARY

Jesus came to die for our sins
of His own volition in His great love
He took on the cross at Calvary
having come here from heaven above

VICARIOUS

Jesus died for sins not His own
for He was sinless perfect in every way
He knew His elect from His father
this saviour died for our sins that day

VICIOUS

Christ's crucifixion was so terribly

It Was Only Noon , But Dark As Night, One Friday

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
