An Intimate Love Friendship With A Saviour Poem by Terence George Craddock

beautifully crafted is an intricate living tapestry
majesty mastery woven; into an intimate love friendship
with a saviour Jesus not all; will be flogged fiercely
experience cruelty satanically viciously not all will;
drip blood from a crown of thorns piercing forehead
to flesh torn skull not all; will suffer betrayal so extreme
as to be shame crucified on a cross; born a sacrificial
sacrifice to go willingly to torture death cross to give divine;

forgiveness for all sins for all humanity; which will
accept this extreme loving gift; which will shape
a future paradise life; if they will share this bitter cup;
blood sacrifice freely given; in love for their lives
dark storm clouds tempest; gathered over Golgotha
swirled turned day to pitch night; hid sun star light;

in a twenty-first century fast internet computer world
dark disease death storm clouds; can surge pollution
pour down acid rain; on trees wildlife citizens in cities
injustice cruelty greed crime; still persecutes broken lives;
the light of the Holy Spirit still faith shines seekers saves
desperate people; have found many times even in the worst
of times; peace radiating from a love friendship bound
in Jesus radiates into a refuge peace within self; with God;

radiates into a peace with other people this is a peace;
which transforms lives personalities who accept healing
restoration love in their lives; who will accept this gift
an intimate love friendship with friend Jesus blesses lives;
