Divine Lunacy Waxes Poetic...

Doing a "Fall" cleaning and came across a few poems that I had written a few years ago.  This one is an anocrostic poem.  The letter beginning each sentece forms a sentence of it's own.

 

Jesus Love



Jesus
Endured everything meant for me
Shame and degradation
Ugly words of hate
Scourged and spit upon

Body torn and pierced
Redemtion gained in each mark
On His flesh
Knowing, I put them there
Eternally
Not to shame me, but remind me

Beautiful salvation
Oh, the glory to be of such worth
Daring to belong to Him
Yehweh's beloved

Jesus
Endured everything meant for me
Shame and degradation
Ugly words of hate
Scourged and spit upon

Slahsed and bleeding
Precious life flowing from wounds
I caused Him to take in my place
Love is the only reason
Love paid a high price
Even though it was my
Debt to pay

Beautiful redemtion
Lasting forgiveness
Oh, the glory of such love
Only a Father can give
Divine love
