Lamb



Precious Holy Lamb of God,

It was you who bore the sin for me,
It was you who died to set me free.
You took upon yourself all my shame,
For all of my sins You took the blame.

Offering Yourself as a sacrifice,
Without which I was doomed to die twice.
There is a second death for the lost,
Even though for them You paid the cost.

They would not accept what you had done,
Nor, would they believe that You're God's Son.
You came as a spotless, perfect lamb,
You told us You are the great I AM.

Sacrificed, as a lamb, for our sin,
So that Heaven we can enter in.
But, some blinded eyes will never see,
Just how and why, these things had to be.

Until that day that it is too late,
When they are standing outside Hell's gate.
Lord, please help me to do all I can,
To spread the word of salvation's plan.

Well, my title was Lamb and my genre was spiritual. So, this is what I came up with.

    Excellent

    Terrific poem Penny, I couldn't agree with you more. If only more could see the sacrifice made for us, they would appreciate life and the here after much more. God bless you for writing such a wonderful poem. Take care.

    Magnificent

    This was a fantastic poem that you wrote here Penny. People always think that being a christian is easy, whereas I believe it is the hardest thing to be for we have to deal with our sins and live up to God's standards, whereas those who do not believe never judge their own behaviour, so that their deeds pile up higher and higher. What a blessing that the Lamb came as a sacrifice and took all of our sins away that we are no longer burdened with them. Great write thank you, take care, Heather

    You are so good with spiritual work. Every point you expressed is perfectly scriptural, and you express it so well poetically with nice rhyme and flow. I really enjoyed this.

    I can click on some authors and poets and expect to be edified and come away uplifted. You are definitely one of those. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Yet again another great piece that showcases your faith. I think that it is common knowledge that you always are going to present us with "grade- A" spiritual poems. Bravo. This is your niche.
