One Sunday, at Confirmation class, we had a guest speaker, who, to my surprise, was actually pretty good. And something he said really stuck with me. Most people, when they think about Jesus dieing for their sins, think about Him dying for the sins of the world. What they don't usually realize (and this includes me) is that even if you were the only person in the world, He still would have died for your salvation. Sooo, a wonderful new poem (OK, a sucky new poem) from yours truly. Here it is.
He came to earth to pay for your sins
To die for you - just for you
He left the glory and splendor of Heaven
For you - only you
He suffered and died
To save you - you, and you alone
Beaten and whipped
Not for humanity but for you - only you
And He rose again, giving you a chance at Heaven
You - just you
Because He loves you, as if you were the only person on this planet.
You, and only you.
constructive criticism only. I'd really like to improve, which I can't do until I know what needs work. What are you waiting for? Review!! Now!!
