A description of the crucifixion of Christ.

The Man Upon The Cross

by Monica Chaddick

A man spread out upon the cross, Blood dripping from His wounds In pain and torment, crying out Born from His mother's womb- Born to die upon that cross To save the world from sin. Hung between two thieves Whose sinning He forgave Before their souls were parted From their bodies in their graves. He cried out to His father, "You have forsaken me" Before He breathed His last breath On that dreary, fateful day. His beaten body was removed From that wooden cross And laid to rest by caring hands, And then the stone was rolled across. He rose again to spread the word, A message for to share, Letting the entire world know He died - their souls to spare. The entire world was saved from sin, All because of Him! Our sins forgiven, our place preserved In Heaven up above Because of His great sacrifice And undying love. He gave His body and mortal life So we could all live free, Our eternity in Heaven Where He wanted us to be. All of this He did for us, The people who didn't believe - Or those that did believe in Him, But in silence grieved. Our mortal world took His life, And He took the loss. To save us from damnation, This man spread out upon the cross.
