Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Not human nails
driven in his hands
not human hands
that lifted him up
the tree of the cross
a choice alone
He chose to go
to carry our load

To be the sacrifice
the humble lamb of God
to go where he was led
to become the cornerstone
to rise up on the wood
the thorns on his head
to go the cross
in our place instead

Only Christ’s love
choosing to go
to bear our pain
because he loves us so

“It wasn't nails, but love, that held Jesus to the Cross.
He nailed down our salvation for eternity.”
