Easter Poem

Loving Me to The End
Betrayed...
                 ...for 30 pieces of Silver
Denied...
                ...three times by His own disciple
Innocent...
                ...but they traded His life for that of a murderer
Scorned...
               ...by those He came to save
Beaten,Bruised, and Broken...
                                             ...yet the crowd still cried for more
Crucify Him, Crucify Him
So he went
                 He hung on that cross
                 He took my pain
                 He loved me
And when he uttered His last words
        He loved me still
But death could not hold Him
       Just as He promised He would rise
He conquered death for me
                none of us deserved it
                few of us ask for it
               some of us deny it
Yet He did it
Died and rose again
Loving me to the end
