Beside Us - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

We must remember
when we despair
that Christ is here with us
walking beside us
all of our lives
He knows our struggles
he understands pain
and yet he submitted
to be the sacrifice
the lamb, our sins transferred
resting on his head
We can take comfort
in the utter act of love
the grace Christ showed us
when he climbed the cross
He will never leave us
on this earthy path
He is right beside us
carrying us to God
