Poem from a former HopeKid aged 12.5

Written by Deborah Lee (Ps Ben's daughter) from HopeKids - she graduated last year. I love this poem - it's very well-written! Gosh! She really can write very well...

THE CROSS

The cross, oh the cross
It was the death of our Lord
But to many others it was a minor loss
“He was a great teacher,
No, wait a preacher,”
But all in all he is very much greater.

But as brothers and sisters
Followers of Christ
We know so well that day
He paid a heavy price

The death of Jesus was very major
All of us would learn much later
That Jesus died to set us free
So off with the chains which we were once bound
For God’s love for us was always around

Wait, let me take that back
For something in my sentence lack
The love of God was always around
Is always around and will always be around

A hefty price there was to pay
So the life of Jesus God chose to lay
God has planned a great life for me and you
Don’t you want to share it too?
