#throwbackpoem ~ Crucified for Me ~
Crucified for me,
for my sinful self . . .
oh, how in His death
there is eternal wealth.
Jesus died for me,
so that I might live
all of my transgressions
He came to forgive.
His death is my life,
in it I became new
for in Him . . .
I am crucified too.
Dying everyday,
to the greed and lust
in the world I no longer
pledge my faith or trust.
Grace and mercy,
are now my hearts anthem
ever since Jesus became . . .
my soul’s eternal ransom!
~~~~~~~
“I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me:
and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave
himself for me.”

The Merry Heart ~
The merry heart,
in God has peace
its full of joy
that does not cease.
It wears a smile,
even when its sad
for the joyful heart
is always glad.
The merry heart,
exudes cheerfulness
its full of delight
imparts happiness.
It trusts in God,
in and for all things
for it is thankful
for whatever He brings.
The merry heart,
has a living hope
its full of joy . . .
it refuses to mope!
~~~~~~~~
“A merry heart doeth good
like a medicine:
but a broken spirit
drieth the bones.”
