Crossword Christianity

My King confounded multitudes with His cross words.
They weren’t dross words, eloquent or false words.
He said “Forgive Them”  but we live as if we’ve not heard
Like it’s a game, boyish ways have made us absurd. 

The sour wine was given, now our wine is living
inside. My provision is Thine. I’m forgiven! 
I’m so blessed to be covered and stained
He bled from his hands; never once in vain.

For all the hate that we’ve hidden he was our hang-man,
Erasing pain, that can lock us up in shame, and
brought us to blessed perfection to heal our vain land.
Christ made it plain, now He reigns at the right hand. 

The Bread of Life was broken, so now my heart is spoken
for. Heaven’s earth-collision declaring I’m forgiven! 
I’m so blessed that to be covered and stained
He bled from His hands, never once in vain.

My King of Hearts departed to open paradise,
so why consider to gamble it like pair of dice?
The hand was dealt, fear was felt, when the veil was sliced
Sweet breath ascended, and mended the path from broken life.

Spilled Ink 9 -“History”

If simple words that we say
could permeate a new day
with love in positive ways

Where would the Nation be?

If prayer for freedom from chains
for those who harbor their pains
Could spill from lips once again

Where would our Brothers be?

How can we walk on by?
Why watch our loved ones cry?
When we can them pick up
Where they hurt and show them love

Fear is a lie to me
Straight from the enemy
But I am free, you see, to be
The truth inside of me
Wage war on bended knee
for God to set us free
into a world where we can be a change in His Story.
