    I don’t really know who to tag on this.

    I haven’t read everything on this topic, but what I have read is really good. Thought I’d share one of my poems and get feedback from you all, what you like and don’t like! This one’s called “Amazing Grace”

    Three crosses stood on a hill far away

    For there was a price to pay

    Two men were hung on either side

    And both of them deserved to die

    But in the center hung a Man

    Innocent, pure as a lamb

    With every right to be set free

    For in the center, they should have hung me

     

    Oh, the story of amazing grace!

    How a Good Man took a bad man’s place

    What can I do but live for Him

    Who died to take away my sin

    I was saved from a life of waste

    When a Good Man took a bad man’s place

     

    The pain He felt should have been mine

    For all the times I’ve crossed the line

    All of my guilt I should have borne

    And my sinful body torn

    My blood should have been shed

    And I for water should have pled

    God should have turned His back on me

    Instead of buying liberty

     

    Oh, the story of amazing grace!

    How a Good Man took a bad man’s place

    What can I do but live for Him

    Who died to take away my sin

    I was saved from a life of waste

    When a Good Man took a bad man’s place
