Today... 'Jesus The Christ' Poem by Roy Allen

to His disciples this truth He revealed
that, He was The Christ, Saviour of the World.
The Long Promised One by prophets foretold.
This secret was kept, the world was not told.

On to Jerusalem, He then had to go
to lay down His life, His love to us show.
Climbing the steep hill, rough pathways He trod.
T'was the only way to bring us to God

Onward and upward, there's no other way
but to give His life, our great debt to pay.
They spat upon Him, their insults they hurled.
As they killed The Christ, Saviour of the World.

'Father forgive them, ' out loud He had cried
as He bowed His Head, surrendered and died.
Great silence then spread, the darkness unfurled
For He was The Christ, Saviour of the World.
