Foot Of The Cross Poem by SarahLaney Long

His feet were bare
On the road to Calvary
As He slowly made His way
I watched on bended knees.

And He kept walking
So I kept watching
Surrounded by hate and thorns
My Lord, my God was torn

Chorus:
I fall at the foot of the cross
Next to those who scorn You
Who ask, 'Why can't He save Himself? '
Lord they don't know what they do
Their punishment, suits their crime,
But Your death is something true
They ask, 'Why can't He save Himself? '
It's 'cause He's saving you.

I am lost in the shadows of my sin
Such an enteric paradox
That when I lose I win
So I'll keep living
And He'll keep giving
Surrounded with His love and trust
I've found that I must

(Chorus)

Bridge:
The pain in His eyes
Is too much to bare
As I watch Him bare my sin
The tears they stain both our cheeks
As He died so I might live

(Chorus)

So I walk down that dusty road
And in the distance hear
'I am with you
Forever in Paradise'
