The Man on the Cross
God looked upon us, His work was not done,
we needed a Savior; He sent us His Son.
From a lowly manger, with His Father above,
He offered us grace, forgiveness and love.
To us He came, not to take, but to give,
The Perfect Example of how we should live.
He preached and He taught us to trust in His Name,
Yet He was rejected and sentenced to shame.
His followers left Him, His friends had dispersed,
Our Savior was ridiculed, beaten and cursed.
Though tortured and bloodied, courageous He stood,
And carried our sins with the weight of the wood.
Those who loved Him were burdened with gloom,
But hearts were changed when they entered the tomb.
He kept his promise, He did as He said,
He freed us from sin as He rose from the dead.
His presence is with us, to Him we pray,
And His Spirit dwells in us, to guide us each day.
When our lives overwhelm us and we’re flooded with doubt,
And darkness surrounds us with no clear way out,
Be strong in Faith, we’re not at a loss,
We’ve already been saved, by the Man on the Cross.
Have a blessed Easter,
Dom Perfetti
