The Lord
must lie in His appointed grave,
But not the
grave that man appointed Him;
When it was
needed God let men behave
Evilly
towards Christ, and all was grim
Through
capture, jeering, beating, and the cross,
Where even
His dead body was assailed;
Men could
not bury Him with this world’s dross
For in the
choice of grave God’s will prevailed.
So in His
death the Lord was with the rich
Because He
never did a violent deed,
Because no
word of His trapped or abused;
His was a
life of grace and glory which
Delighted
God; but yet, to meet our need,
Jehovah
willed that Jesus should be bruised.
Thank you, David for the beautiful, Bible-based poem and stunning photo. May God bless you and your ministry.
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeletebeautiful pics and poem. I too in my onward journey with the Lord try to say to God, 'not my will but Your will', but would never have to go through what our Lord had to go through as I learn God's ways through that daily Word spoken to me.
God bless.
Very nice.
