You Knew... You Were Born To Die (Hebrews 10: 7) Poem by JoAnn McGrath

You Knew...You Were Born To Die (Hebrews 10: 7)
'Then I said, 'Here I am - it is written about me in the scroll -
I have come to do your will. O God.' '

You knew...
...before you took your first mortal breath,
the path that awaited your salvation's death

You knew...
...just as God knows all things by name
and you still walked each step that was proclaimed

You knew...
...your death would be a ransom to set us free
A living will read once for all to see

You knew...

... you were born to die
yet it was not your final goodbye
