It’s the beauties of it all that keep us perplexed

 

Looking at the unimaginable

 

Touching the unbelievable

 

Hearing the unthinkable

 

Loving the unlovable

 

Holding the miracle of life

 

Tasting the kiss of comfort

 

Sleeping in the arms of peace

 

Cuddled in the tender hand of grace

 

Caught up with the full assurance I’m forgiven

 

Thought of before eyes had vision

 

It’s amazing the things set before me

 

Close your eyes don’t peek

 

Look real close, what do you see?

 

It’s the beauties of it all that keep us perplexed

A Glimpse of Jesus

With every crack of the whip, with every beat of the fists, the multitude stood in awe and winced at the inflicted pain which our Lord and Savior had to bear. A chosen payment for the crimes we chose to commit, a high price for redemption. The pain reveals itself in the flowing of blood, the nails, the ripped skin on His back, and the separation from God, how deep Lord, how wide?

Jesus, it must have pained some to know You had to come, it must have crushed God to send his only begotten son, yet the pain that You would suffer would not deter the Father, so it would not deter the Son.

The multitude saw and then they felt, but our Lord Jesus felt and then He saw. The pain of foreknowing gives me

“A Glimpse of Jesus” I can’ not explain.

Captured by the Cross

An unchained melody
Reason without a rhyme
A vain attempt at fulfillment 
A smile without a home
A thought without a meaning
A long walk to nowhere
A sleep that gives no rest
A babe that never grows up
A thorn without a rose
A cloud void of lift
An ocean without a roar
“A Lost Child”
Thank you Lord Jesus
These are just a few of the things that were
Captured by the Cross
