5. Poem "The Cross" - Deborah

THE CROSS

It is on a cross that Jesus ascended and it is there that he died for you
It is on a cross that he gave himself up
And there he took the first step towards you.

It was on a cross that he suffered
It is there that, for you, everything begins It is on a cross that he took your misery And it is there that you see his immense love.

Jesus died to tell you that he loves you
But resuscitated so that you don't remain in pain Every beat of his heart thinks of you

And he hopes that one day, finally, you will understand.

This cross, place of suffering and agony
Where the blood of Jesus shed for your life
To this cross, this is where you must come. Where his complete victory will be yours.
