Pondering Jesus
Hanging unjustly on the cross,
Releases an upheaval
Of inner light.
Jesus shocks and shakes up
The psyche of those
Who read the Gospels
With an open heart.
Our sense of alienation
Can be erased
By a full embrace
Of Christ on the cross.
A crucifix
Pondered deeply
Can connect you
With God’s fix
To purify
Your inner mix.
You don’t merit,
Earn or deserve life,
Yet here you are,
Alive and reading this.
Nobody earns
Life’s perfect grade.
You can’t live by merit
And not need mercy.
Human cruelty
Is often concealed,
But as Jesus hung
On the cross
It was revealed.
