The Blood Sacrifice

Covered with the robe of righteousness
His blood poured out for me
Sinless God, our Jesus man
Tortured, bled and died to free

His wounded side for those not there
His heart, broken for you , for me
Not one bone touched, nailed on that cross
Raised up on the splintery tree

Penalty paid for liberty
Priceless freedom He gave
We need but ask forgiveness now
Our creator came to save

His wounds overflowed
Jesus' heart did break,
Pierced by satan's Roman spear
Killed. Scarlet flowed. An earth erupting quake.

Scattered disciples, Mary wept.
They entombed and buried him.
The lamb of God, prefect One
He who knew no sin.

He'd restored the lame,
Given sight to the blind
Healed the sick,
Touched the demonized mind

And these life deeds
Love freely gave
And then was
Sentenced to His grave

Marijo, yoour love for the Lord is evident in this poem. You have a great gift and I appreciate how you tied in such biblical truths about the diety of Jesus Christ the man - 100% God and 100% man. Beautifuly done - keep sharing. You are blessing many hearts and turning them UPWARD. Excellent job - you are using your God given brain in an incredible way.

Thanks for your total encouragement! HE is able and I just want others to know the freedom of being in Christ - I spent 9 long years as an atheist and that was way too long - I wish I hadn't and will do whatever I can to help share the "good news"! Marijo

anon. just because people don't beieve like you, doesn't mean they are not adults and do not think for themselves. You think that a psychic has the truth on Jesus and you believe her story, using your own logic, you ned to be an adult and think for yourself. What makes her book right and the Bible wrong? Every body has a choice to believe as they wish and they have their reasons why.

Good see something writing about what Jesus Christ accomplished for us. As a recovered alcoholic, I am keenly aware that "by his stripes we were healed;" and the redemption assures believers of wholeness, prosperity, and health. Thank you

Thanks for your encouragement - we are getting steady snow today and I am writing a new series - pray for me please, for the Lord's inspiration and something that will be a "grabber" for those who don't know Jesus or have a twisted concept of our Lord and God. Thanks! Marijo
