Because He Is God - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

So much we should gain from this
Christ holy, though of clay
because he is God
now as then
from the beginning of time

There at the creation
the word coming alive
birthed on the earth
to bring us to God
healing the breach for all time

as I read the title of the following poem
before posting it to Christianpoetry this morning,
I thought of the fact that Christ did all that he did
with his eyes seeing, knowing his fate,
before he came to earth
-------------------------
With his eyes seeing

awakening his slumber
the pain of his suffering
seeing the world, with eyes open to God
his sacrifice, his love shining
in the vision before him
able to see the world
as if for the first time
seeing sin from the
perspective of a father
grasping his mercy,
his love for us all
Choosing, as Christ did
the way of the cross
wanting no child
to bear such a terrible cost
