The Sacred Heart Of Jesus... His Presence Will Give You Peace. Poem by Denis Martindale

Of Jesus Christ, it has been said, 'He is the King of Kings! '
Once crucified, rose from the dead! God knows what peace that brings!
It means that God accepts His Blood as pardon for our souls
That have by sin turned black as mud, once meant for godly goals.
God won't condemn the guilty man who trusts Christ crucified!
The first soul God chose not to ban? One thief with whom He died!
That man found peace as if God's gift when in his greatest need!
From God he'd reached his furthest rift! Then he saw Jesus bleed!
The Saviour healed the crippled crowds the dumb, the deaf, the lame!
Today three tombs! Today three shrouds! Today they mocked His Name!
Yet Jesus prayed, 'Forgive them, Lord! They know not what they do! '
One thief believed! God's Son assured, 'God's Paradise for you! '
Christ's promises cross centuries and all eternity...
Yet most of all, He offers peace... because of Calvary...
