THE CALVARY ROAD

I've walked life's road for many years
At times I've faced some bitter tears
I've seen the good which made me glad
I've known the wrong which made me sad
Yet when I weighed each gain or loss
I sensed the conflict of the Cross.

Just why should love and grace appear
When man rejects God's offer here?
The Law revealed the Judge's claim
All men are slaves and bound by shame
When Jesus showed His nail pierced hand
The Cross revealed salvation's plan.

The Serpent's lie to be a “god”
Enslaved all men upon earth's sod
Yet God ordained sin's price be paid
Upon His Son our sins were laid
This Calvary Road will always be
The only place to be set free.

So true, and very beautifully worded. Shows the beautiful picture of how God works and he is the ultimate victory. All that is of the flesh passes away... thank you for posting.
