Mankind committed the saddest sin ever Killing the Son Of God will remain in our hearts forever But it was meant to be as you all know But the pain remains in our hearts from long ago!
We knew all along that this day was coming as foretold For it had been written many times in days of old None of us realized all the pain and suffering, you would go through It was forbidden to interfere, there was nothing we could do!
We never left your side though it all, although we feel you thought you were all alone In silence your servants watched their Lord be betrayed by the ones he called His Own! Shame! We declared on the high priests of the temple! Shame on all of you! You have dishonored your God in Heaven for all the wrong you do!
Shame! Shame! On Judas for betraying you Lord Shame! Shame! On those who betrayed you after you gave them God's Word! Shame! Shame! On your own disciples who also betrayed you! Shame! Shame! For all the pain and suffering, the Son Of God had to go through!
With all the screaming and shouting, it was hard for us to get near But we did manage to see your eyes, were covered with sadness, but with no fear We watched as the guards placed their crown of thorns upon your head We watched as your beloved body was spit upon, beaten, mocked, crucified as you bled!
All of your teachings sent by their God, Our God, your Heavenly Father Shunned and mocked on that day, Lest they forgot to Love One Another! Hail! King Of The Jews, they mocked at you! Let your God come and take you off the cross, were the words they threw!
As you laid on that cross, we watched in sadness and dismay They say angels don't cry, but we all did that day Heavenly Father wept as the tears flowed from Heaven When you pleaded to Him that, they be forgiven!
Although you never complained for what they had done to you We were all torn apart inside, for what you were going through! As you lay there dying, darkness fell upon the earth Not like the shining light that was given, at your birth!
This was the darkest day in earth's history that is known The day the Son Of God, Our Lord was betrayed, by His Own! But we your Heavenly Angels, never once left your side For you are Our King, with you forever, we will abide!
The love we feel for you is embedded in our hearts Always, we remain your humble servants, we will never depart! King of Kings of all the Heavens and Earth, Our Lord Jesus Forever, your angels give praise unto you as you do, unto us!
The Wooden Cross of Love
Three wooden crosses stood on Calvary Hill that day Three wooden crosses for all to see, on proud display Two common thieves, one to the left, one to the right The one in the middle was God's shining light!
Innocent of all crimes, free of all earthly sin With a love for mankind, he carried deep within Nailed to a cross, the Son of God, just like the thieves Two thousand years later, my heart still grieves!
Tears flowed that day by many, while others mocked and laughed Not one person spoke a word of defense, on his behalf All the good deeds he had done, seemed just to be tossed aside Even knowing him, by some was completely denied!
All his earthly life, he held great compassion for everyone But when he needed compassion most, sadly there was none Abused by his trangressors, the Son Of God laid upon a cross Hurting and suffering, his prayers, his love, never at a loss!
Only a handful remained at his side, not willing to run and hide They too were hurting inside, praying for his pain to subside All eyes of heaven carefully watched and listened to their Lord Cries of anguish from the earths angels, echoed for Jesus, whom they loved and adored!
There was so much sorrow and mourning, from Heaven that dark day But it was something that had to be done, it was planned that way Out of love for us and His Heavenly Father, The Lord Jesus came to us Obeying His Father willingly, knowing in the end, there would be no justice!
The world received eternal life that tragic, mournful day Forever, the image of the three crosses, in our hearts will stay The pain and suffering that Our Lord Jesus went through Was all out of unconditional love, for me and you!
So next time you see a cross, think of Calvary Hill Think of Our Lord Jesus, think of the wooden cross of free will Then say "Thank You to Our Lord Jesus", In Heaven above Who suffered in pain for you and me, All Out Of Love!
A Prayer Of Love
Take my hand, hold it tight within yours Shine your light of love, upon me forevermore Stay close beside me, protect me from all harm Be my refuge, safe within your arms!
Keep me within your sight, always within full view The road of righteousness is the road that I must pursue! For I am not perfect, sin is hiding behind every turn I don't want to step on a path, that leads to no return!
For there will be times, that I will stray Those are the times, I need you to find my way Stay with me through this life, each and every day Wrapped within your love, don't ever go away!
You are my foundation, my rock that I lean on You are my strength, when called upon Pick me up when I stumble and fall, rescue me When darkness falls, be my guiding light, for me to see!
My life is yours, I give it willingly to you Your unconditional love is all I need, to see me through Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty What was, is and is to come! Forever, I will love thee!
The Stairway That Leads To Heaven
As I sit here gazing at the great vastness of the sky My mind reflects back to days, that have quietly slipped by As you get older, some memories seem to fade Just as the years that have passed by, are now many decades!
My childhood memories are embedded in my heart Even though I am old now, they will never depart It's like looking at a book, slowly turning the pages When I think of my life, with all the different stages!
Alot of the paths I have followed, now I know were wrong Some were short, while others were extremely long All through the good times and the bad, year after year Beside me you stayed, letting me know, your presence was near!
You have been so good to me, I don't know where to begin Tears fill my eyes when I think of all the places you and I have been You have and still are the biggest part of my life and my dearest friend My love for you is like a bottomless cup, that forever flows without end!
As I reflect back on my life, I see things now, with a different outlook My life with you has always remained an open book Many times, I came to you for your guiding light Many times, you've brought me out of the darkness of night!
I don't call on you for guidance anymore as before My life feels contentment, what more could I ask for? But as I continue to journey down this long old road My steps have gotten smaller, with age I have slowed!
Looking through the book of my life, it's almost at the end My Dear Lord Jesus, I need you one more time, to be my closest friend As I look into the book, one more last time I see a set of staires, that look hard for me to climb!
Will you be my guiding light of love, once more Take me by the hand, and walk with me to Heavens doors? The Stairway to Heaven shines bright with divine love As is your smile as you reach out for my hand, to take hold of!
Echoes Of Love
Every prayer and their words, the Lord embraces Ascending to Him, from so many places Voices throughout the air, Echoes of Love From everywhere, to Our Lord in Heaven above!
Echoes of song and praise, About Gods Loving ways Echoes of happiness, joy, and delight That all here, is alright!
Echoes of sorrow For a better tomorrow Echoes of grief From those who seek relief!
Echoes of fear That the Lord is closeby and near Echoes of despair That they can no longer bare!
Echoes for those sick and in pain That the Lord will bring comfort, once again Echoes for friends and loved ones Soaring to Heaven, one by one!
Echoes of heart break From the quiet and meak Echoes of loneliness To fill the void and emptiness!
Echoes of hopes and dreams to share All wrapped up in a little prayer Echoes of the faithful From the heart and soul!
The Lord loves to hear from us in prayer Our Father in Heaven, really does care When you say a prayer, listen for the echoes of love Being sent back to you, from Our Lord in Heaven above!
A Child Found His Way Home
A man walked in your house today, without making a sound Being very quiet, just to have a look around No one noticed when he walked through the door No one noticed, he had never been here before!
As he sat down, he could see only one thing A statue of a man saying King Of Kings Just who was this man he thought to himself He was not dressed like a man of wealth!
The pastor was just starting his sermon and began to speak Heaven is a place for the humble and meak And then he proceeded to tell the life story of Jesus, Our Lord As if it was the first time to all that had not heard.
He talked about Jesus teaching about love He talked about His great love for His Father in Heaven above He told about how he came to earth from heaven So that all sins would be forgiven!
He spoke about his teachings to all that he gave He spoke about his love for his people, he had come to save He told of all his healings to the sick and the poor He spoke sadly that it was not enough, they wanted more!
He told about how they had turned their backs on him How he was nailed to a cross, after all he done for them He had tears in his eyes that flowed down his cheek Making it difficult for him to speak!
He said, Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins Yet, today, there are people that will not let him within By within, I mean in their hearts to believe The love he holds for all that is free to receive!
Jesus, Our Mighty King sent from heaven above Sent by Heavenly Father to share His Words of love How sad it is to think of the world's loss Our Beloved Saviour, the Son Of God nailed to a cross!
The man who had entered the church shamefully hung his head Tears rolled down his face, from what the preacher had said Now I know why Lord I was lead to this Holy place I've been missing something from my life, that is your grace!
I have been wondering around lost all these years Full of anguish, hatred and tears But today is the last day on this earth, I will ever roam Today, My Dear Lord, I have finally found my home!
The Vine And The Branches 2
The Lord Jesus looked around at all his disciples He had something very important he had to say You could see the sincerity in his words as he spoke Obey the words " Love One Another As I Have Loved You," each and everyday.
He compared himself to a bush and said I am the true vine and I bear fruit for all to see Any of my branches that bear no fruit, my Father cuts off and throws away The ones that bear fruit, he prunes so more fruit will grow on the tree.
My Father is the gardener and one thing he has taught me Is that one of my branches alone, will not bear anything No fruit will grow without the vine This is why, what my Father has spoken to me, I've told you everything.
If you keep your faith and teach others my ways And my words of love which I have taught you all You can ask my Father for anything in my name,you wish He will give to you, even if your request is big or small.
This is my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit Showing yourselves to be my disciples, in all you do As my Father has loved me So have I loved you.
I will call not call you my servants no more A master does not tell his business to them Everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you, it all came from him.
There is no greater love that a friend can give Than to lay down his life for his friends whom he loves Keep my love in your hearts always Just as I have in my Father, in heaven above.
I am the vine and you are my branches I remain in my Father means we love each other I love all of you and all of you love me That is why I want you to obey my Words always,LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Heaven's Garden Of Flowers
This is a story:
The little flower looked all around in amazement Wow! she said as she laughed with joy The sun is so bright but I am happy, I am alive! Soon I will be in full bloom for all to enjoy!
Hello everyone, she excitedly announced Two big flowers started to smile as they looked down at the little one Hello to you, we are your parents You finally are awake, must be from the light of the sun.
When will I bloom and be pretty like you? she asked The parents laughter could be heard all around It will not take long little one but first you have to grow You will bloom when your stem comes way up from the ground.
The little flower loved sitting there with the other flowers As soon as the sun would arise, they would open their eyes Day after day, they told many stories to each other And day after day, some of their friends, they said their good-byes.
The little flower looked up at her parents, where are they going to? Do we all get to go someday too? The parents replied, little one they are gone to Heaven's Garden We will all go there and someday, you will too!
What is heaven Mama? Is it a nice place? Yes my darling little one, we all go there to the Lord's Garden when we die Who is the Lord Mama? Is he nice? Yes dear, he created you and loves you, she said with a sigh.
Why are we here then? Why aren't we in heaven? We are here for the Lord to enjoy our beauty, we were made out of love Soon, your father and I will go there but you must stay here When the time is right, you will come be with us in the Lord's Garden in heaven above.
One day early in the morning, a man came walking where the flowers were It is the Lord, little one don't make a sound He walked up to the flowers and said what beauty you all have I love all of you and then he continued to walk around.
The little one said to herself, I like him for he is very nice We should all stay here forever and not go away But unfortunately, this was the last time she would see her parents We will see you in heaven's gardens little one for we leave today.
Days passed and the little was was getting bigger everyday Before she knew it, she was an adult flower in full bloom I love it here and I will never leave she declared to the others But you will have no choice they said as winter will be here soon.
The days passed and the flower would not give in and leave She shivered with the cold but held all her pedals close and tight There she stood all alone for all the others had left one by one And when morning came she would get warm by the suns light.
The Lord appeared to her one day and smiled at her What have we got here he said as he smiled at her from where he stood Why won't you come to my warm garden in heaven with the others? She replied, I want you to admire me, I thought that you understood!
The Lord started to grin from ear to ear Everyday, I will admire you in my garden in heaven above The little flower was jumping with joy when he picked her up from the ground Because all she ever wanted was to be near him and feel the warmth of his neverending love!
Heaven, I Await
It is morning time again,the start of another day As I awake to a familiar voice saying,it is time to get up I silently whisper,thank you Lord for this day As the nurse hands me cold burnt toast and lukewarm tea already poured in a cup.
Out in the corridor,I hear voices galore The staff are hustling getting people washed,dressed and fed Those of us who are still mobile are grateful indeed While others have no choice but just to lay there in bed.
Sitting here day to day,starring out this lonely window Seasons swiftly pass by as people come and go Once in awhile,my family come for a visit But time seems to drag on,ever so slow.
I recall of how life was before I came here Memories are all I have left ,they are mine forever to keep God has blessed me with life for so many years Now I await to be called home with him and let this frail body have one final sleep.
I am not afraid to say good-by to this place called earth My heart knows that the loving arms of Jesus wait for me at heavens gate When the time is right,the angels will swiftly carry me to him But till then,I will sit back bidding my time,with anticipation and gracefully await.
Don't Cry Any Tears for me
Don't cry any tears for me Just because I cannot talk Soon I will be in heavens gardens And peacefully,I will walk.
Don't cry any tears for me Just because I am not awake Though it may seem,I am sleeping I can see the angels smiling,waiting for my soul to take.
Don't cry any tears for me Just because my time with you was only for a short while The angels say heavens children are waiting As they gently fly around me making me smile.
Don't cry any tears for me For I will not suffer anymore Only peace and love, I will find As I enter through heavens doors.
Don't cry any tears for me For I want you to be happy not sad Think of me with a smile upon your face And the happy memories,we once had.
Don't cry any tears for me This is not our final good-byes In heaven,I will be waiting for you to arrive Then,we can cry and have tears in our eyes.
Don't cry any tears for me Safe in the loving arms of Jesus,I will be Home is calling,I must go The beauty of heaven now awaits for me.
I Love You Lord
I love you Lord and thank you , for the new day that is about to begin The darkness of night is fading,dawn slowly arises before me Birds singing ,dew drops everywhere, the freshness of the air I am so grateful you created morning for us to enjoy and see.
I love you Lord for all beauty of nature, that you so carefully placed here for us From your glorious high mountains to scenic oceans,rivers and lakes By day,sometimes a perfect blue sky ,by night, stars twinkling ever so bright The beauty of your colorful rainbow or that of the delicate, elegant snowflakes.
I love you Lord for all the different species of animals,birds,fish and bugs While some are annoying,I know you placed them here with love The graceful wings of a bird as it flies,or the sweet sounds it sings Could only sent by you,My Lord, who reigns in heaven above.
I love you Lord for the earthly family that you have given me I thank you for all the people and friends I have met throughout my days I know my life is just as you planned With tears of hardship and sorrow,laughter and joy, could it be any other way.
I love you Lord,I want to do what is right To be a kind ,forgiving, loving person to all around me To help and give comfort, to those around me in need Even if, all it takes is a kind word or smile,I hope you agree.
I love you Lord,I know that each road you lead me to Sometimes may be bumpy along the way But you walk with me every step that I take I know you never will leave,with me always you will stay.
I love you Lord with all my heart and soul I know I don't tell you often enough,that's why I wrote this poem for you You are my God,Creator and Most Holy Father That's why I am sending it to you with love,for I know in my heart that you love me too.
