The Cross of Compassion ~

I cried the day I met Jesus,
I wailed, I bawled, I groaned
I cried learning how He died
I wept, I sobbed, I moaned.

I cried when I found out,
He was crucified  to save me
I cried when I discovered
in His death I was set free.

I cried when I first knew,
by His death I was justified
I wept, I wailed, I sobbed
the day I heard Jesus died.

I cried when I received,
the gift of His eternal passion
I cried when I found my hope
on the Cross of His compassion.

I cried the day I envisioned,
the blood stains on His face
I wept, I sobbed, I moaned
thanking God for His grace!

Matthew 26:75
King James Version

“And Peter remembered the word of Jesus,
which said unto him, Before the cock crow,
thou shalt deny me thrice.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.”

The Tapestry of His Love ~

He took two threads of love,
and wove me in the womb
covered me with a tapestry
that was made upon His loom.

He did the fine needlework,
of all the fibers of my frame
He skillfully sewed us together
so our image would be the same.

He embroidered in my soul,
the desire to know His will
then interlaced us together
with the Holy Spirit’s seal.

He stitched so intricately,
all the details inside of me
so that the fabric of His life
the unwoven eye could see.

He held the needle in His hand,
and used love as His thread
He formed me in the womb
and to Him ~ I’m forever lead

Psalm 139:15
King James Version

“My substance was not hid from thee, when I
was made in secret, and curiously wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth.”
