Looking Up Into His Face - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Looking up at the cross
into the face of Jesus
my weight on my knees
humbly singing your praises

Overwhelmed by the enormity
your grace upon me
giving me your spirit
causing me to sing

Tears in your eyes
how you must have grieved
for all humanity
alone on Calvary.
