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
