The Rugged Cross

By  |   |   |  23 comments  
A cross caught the attention of a sinner that eventually was changed to a free man.



I took joy in living a fruitless life
Never shaken by shame or fear
Until something struck my sight
Putting an end to my stormy career.

I saw a Man nailed on a rugged cross
Bathe in blood, His face in pain
Telling me, He did it for the lost
His Father’s love them to gain.

He fixed his eyes on me and said,
Son, thou art forgiven
My blood is for your ransom paid
My life I give that thou may enter heaven.

With His death my salvation rests
My sins all were wipe out
God is full of grace
From hell’s damnation, He took me out!

    Take time contemplation and for deep reflection. Time to examine our conscience now.

    Is this poem any related to Christ or any religion? Whose death, salvation and sins are talked about?

    It is again that season where we are reminded that God gave his Son, Jesus to save us. We are therefore called upon not to waste the opportunity given to us from being saved.

    It's the time of the year again to reflect on the person who saved us from sins before.

    Amen to this. I've always believed that everything that has happened to me has been orchestrated by him. Awesome poem!

    in the midst of all selfishness, desires and aspirations overshadow the purpose of our existence - to share His words. that we are in fact saved by God's grace when Jesus paid for our sins in the cross. Thank you for the reminder and when we are push and shove, may we remember we are created to serve, not to be served. God bless you! :)

    there's a song about the old rugged cross papaleng and that has been one of my favorite hymns at church. if you search it in youtube, you will find that song very inspiring too. love your poem as well! we are so blessed to have known Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
