No matter who and what we are in the society, all of us are in one great need of salvation. We may not feel it right now but sooner or later we may realize it. Constantly God is whispering in our minds to come to Him and surrender our burdens of any kind. It can be selfishness, hatred, dissatisfaction, insecurities, hopelessness, and all human angst where no material abundance can subdue. Life is short and after it is what? The Bible tells us God's ultimate plan to show us his great love by dying in our part and living again so that every one who will accept Him as their savior and make Him Lord in their lives, will not die forever but rather live again in eternity. The poem below is inspired by this hope.
It was for you and me,
That Jesus left His throne,
Bore the scourge and agony,
Shivered His flesh and bone,
It was for you and me,
He took the awry tour,
Towards the dreaded Calvary,
Summed His tortured hours,
It was for you and me,
That Jesus bore the cross,
Paid the greatest penalty,
That death supposed be ours,
It was for you and me,
He wailed the gloomiest cry,
It was for you and me,
Jesus was nailed to die,
Oh that you and I may see,
Our wickedness beyond measure,
Jesus to set us free,
In our stead bore the torture,
His love mysterious great,
Knocks the door of all men's heart,
His mighty power recreates,
Renews our lives whole to restart,
It was for you and me,
When on the third day death sufficed,
The savior left His grave,
Victorious he was raised,
He rose back to His throne,
Sitting by His Father's side,
Prepare! He's coming soon,
Today is to decide,
